UNSPSC 46171701: Vehicle parking permit

A security control item used to grant access to vehicles and that records entry time, expiration time and actual parking duration time

UNSPSC 46171701 Vehicle parking permit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure parking management systems, guidance platforms, enforcement software, and related operational services that enable collection, compliance tracking, and revenue optimization across publicly owned parking facilities. The code captures the full lifecycle of parking administration—from real-time occupancy monitoring and motorist guidance to citation management, permit issuance, and payment processing. Recent solicitations show cities and counties buying cloud-based parking guidance systems with sensors and digital signage, comprehensive citation and permit management platforms, automated license plate recognition enforcement, mobile payment integration, and curb allocation planning services. Issuing bodies include city parking departments (Dallas, New Smyrna Beach, Beaverton, Madison), county transportation and parks authorities (Walton County, Pinellas County, Santa Clara County), airports (Melbourne Orlando International), universities (University of Connecticut), and urban redevelopment agencies (Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency). No single jurisdiction dominates the activity; municipal parking divisions and county parks departments are the primary issuing bodies, with most opportunities ranging from two- to five-year terms.

Activity concentrates in Florida, California, Oregon, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of New Smyrna Beach's Parking Guidance System rebid (Solicitation 2226MP, RFP, proposals due June 22, 2026) covering 596 on-street and lot spaces with flush-mounted sensors, digital matrix signs, cloud dashboards, and a three-year initial term plus optional two-year extension; the City of Dallas's Parking Citation and Meter Management consolidation (Solicitation BCZ2600030027, RFP, proposals due July 24, 2026) bundling citations, permits, and mobile payment services into a three-year agreement with two one-year renewals; the Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency's Downtown Parking Data Services (Solicitation 26044, RFP, proposals due June 23, 2026) requiring data interpretation from a Motorola MLPR system across 150 block faces and 1,200 spaces, with an August 3, 2026 service start and June 30, 2029 completion deadline; and Pinellas County Parks' Parking Management System replacement (Solicitation 250657RFP, RFP, proposals due July 1, 2025) managing 5,400 spaces with handheld ticketing, ALPR, and portal capabilities capped at $450,000 over 60 months.
