UNSPSC 44101509: Thermal fax machine

A telecommunications technology used to transfer copies (facsimiles) of documents using thermal printing technology.

UNSPSC 44101509 Thermal fax machine is a Commodity code that covers digital faxing equipment and integrated multifunction devices serving public sector operations, particularly library and municipal administrative functions. State and local governments are procuring multifunction scanning, printing, and faxing solutions that bundle hardware, proprietary software, and ongoing maintenance support — rather than standalone thermal fax machines alone. The issuing bodies include county procurement divisions and city purchasing offices; the recent activity shows both one-off sole-source awards for proprietary integrated systems and routine consumables buys.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Pennsylvania. Collier County Procurement Services Division (Florida) issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source Today's Business Solutions, Inc. on October 8, 2026, for library maintenance and operation support covering digital faxing, scanning, and printing via proprietary TBS hardware and software (ScanEZ Station, ePRINTit Mobile Printing, CPAD payment kiosks) over a five-year contract term through September 30, 2031, with no stated dollar value. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro purchase IFB (B2627019) on April 29, 2026, with a May 6, 2026 response deadline, for toner cartridges and drums with a maximum dollar limit of $43,000 and a contract period running through June 30, 2026, eligible for local business entity (LBE) preference and voluntary LGBTQ vendor identification. The code shows limited recent activity; procurement under this code typically concentrates on consumables and occasional integrated multifunction system awards rather than discrete thermal fax equipment.
