UNSPSC 43222817: Telecommunication repeaters

This commodity refers to receive, to amplify through current induction, and to retransmit automatically, a coded signal at an intermediate point in a long line.

UNSPSC 43222817 Telecommunication repeaters (Commodity) represents a narrow product category, but the recent opportunities tagged to it show marked divergence from repeater equipment per se. State and local procurement under this code instead centers on satellite communications systems with push-to-talk capability, legacy telephone system maintenance and repair, VoIP infrastructure replacement, and broadband fiber-optic network buildout. Collier County, Florida's June 2026 notice of intent to single-source Skybase Communications for five-year satellite phone service with Iridium push-to-talk functionality exemplifies the primary pattern—government acquisition of mission-critical communications infrastructure and services rather than discrete repeater hardware. County sheriffs' offices, school districts, and state agencies dominate the issuing bodies. Santa Clara County sought Motorola radios and accessories; Hillsborough County Public Schools pursued supplemental maintenance for Nortel/Avaya phone systems and Honeywell security panels across 235 facilities; and the State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology extended an emergency contract for legacy telephone system maintenance across Department of Corrections institutions. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued a large cooperative purchasing solicitation (TEX-AN-WPS) for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services and equipment, and the City of Thomasville, Georgia, sought VoIP system replacement across 19 municipal buildings.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County Public Schools), California (Santa Clara County, Orange County multiple departments, City of Long Beach fiber expansion), Texas (TxDOT, TDCJ, DIR cooperative), and Georgia (Thomasville). Sourcewell (Minnesota LGU) issued a cooperative law-enforcement-equipment RFP spanning multiple Washington counties and eligible public entities nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's single-source notice to Skybase Communications LLC for FloridaSatNet satellite service (response by July 22, 2026); Santa Clara County's RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories (due June 17, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools' two separate ITBs for infrastructure communications failure systems maintenance on Nortel/Avaya and Honeywell platforms (due February 19 and April 8, 2026); the Texas DIR's TEX-AN-WPS RFO for statewide wireless and satellite services (due July 23, 2026); the City of Long Beach's re-bid fiber expansion project for 254,822 linear feet of 288-strand fiber cable and conduit (rejected all bids April 2, 2026); and the City of Thomasville's RFP for VoIP telephone system replacement of 400 phones across 19 buildings (due March 18, 2026). The code exhibits material recent solicitation volume but alignment with repeater-specific equipment procurement is limited.
