UNSPSC 48111300: Service and ticket vending machines

UNSPSC 48111300 Service and ticket vending machines, a Class code, encompasses vending machine procurement and operations for parks and recreation facilities, emergency medical services, and airport ground handling. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase both the machines themselves—which must accept multiple payment methods, maintain appropriate temperatures, and display customer service information—and the ongoing servicing, maintenance, and software integration required to keep them operational. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies range from county parks departments and municipal fire services to regional school districts and airport authorities, with vendors expected to handle installation, regular servicing, parts replacement within 48 hours of notification, and in some cases, supply chain management and inventory integration through third-party software platforms.

Geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Tucson Fire Department), California (Sacramento County airports, City of Pasadena), Connecticut (Amity Regional School District No. 5), and Georgia (White County Parks & Recreation).
