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, a Commodity code, describes technology systems and services that state and local governments deploy to manage on-street and off-street parking access, revenue collection, occupancy tracking, and citation enforcement across downtown districts, airports, municipal facilities, and transit commuter lots. Recent solicitations show governments buying turnkey parking management solutions combining access control equipment (License Plate Recognition sensors, multi-space kiosks, digital signage), cloud-based software platforms for real-time occupancy data and reporting, citation and permit management systems, mobile payment integration (contactless, QR code, pay-by-phone options), and ongoing maintenance and support. Issuing bodies include municipal transit authorities (Melbourne Airport Authority, Village of Schaumburg Metra Station), city departments and urban redevelopment agencies (Athens-Clarke County, City of New Smyrna Beach, City of Atlanta, City of Dallas, City of Beaverton), and smaller municipalities (City of Lehi, Utah). The scope often bundles operator services—parking enforcement, revenue collection, customer service—with technology provision, though some solicitations separate technology replacement from operational management.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Melbourne Airport Authority RFP for comprehensive parking lot operator services and revenue control equipment due November 6, 2025; City of New Smyrna Beach RFP for cloud-based Parking Guidance System with real-time occupancy monitoring, initially posted April 24, 2026 and rebid June 22, 2026), Georgia (Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County RFP #27001 for courthouse and city hall PARCS system upgrade with License Plate Recognition due October 1, 2026; City of Atlanta Department of Transportation IFB for on-street parking and curb management services due August 4, 2026), Illinois (Village of Schaumburg RFP 2026-RFP-050 for commuter lot parking kiosk replacement with Cale WebOffice and Vigilant enforcement integration due August 7, 2026), Utah (Lehi City RFP for Dry Creek Reservoir parking services and payment collection due September 15, 2026), Oregon (Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency RFP #26-044 for downtown parking data interpretation and real-time reporting using Motorola MLPR and Passport systems due June 23, 2026), and Texas (City of Dallas RFP BCZ2600030027 for consolidated parking, citation, permit, and mobile payment services due July 24, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from $75,000 annually (Athens-Clarke County) to gross revenues of $2.18 million annually (Melbourne Airport). Initial terms typically run three to five years with optional renewals; performance bonds and comprehensive insurance ($1–3 million general liability) are standard across jurisdictions.
