UNSPSC 48111301: Ticket dispensing machines

UNSPSC 48111301 Ticket dispensing machines is a Commodity code that covers vending and dispensing equipment used by state and local governments for supply distribution, inventory management, and public-facing service delivery. Recent opportunities under this code involve procurement of vending machines, smart lockers, and associated software platforms for medical supplies, emergency services inventory, recreational facility beverages, and boarding pass materials. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of municipal fire and police departments, county parks and recreation agencies, and county procurement offices acting as cooperative purchasing leads. These jurisdictions are buying integrated vending solutions that combine hardware, software platforms for inventory tracking and control, service and maintenance agreements, and often product supply or integration with existing systems like pharmacy management software or ticketing platforms.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West, with recent solicitations from the City of Tucson Fire Department (Arizona), White County Board of Commissioners Parks & Recreation Department (Georgia), and Sacramento County Department of Airports (California) on behalf of the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance cooperative purchasing program. A representative opportunity is the City of Tucson Fire Department RFP 260217 (posted August 13, 2026, due June 24, 2026) seeking VendNovation brand vending machines, smart lockers, and software licensing to support approximately 700 users across 17 existing machines, 3 tethered lockers, and 1 independent locker for BLS and ALS pharmaceutical and supply distribution—this contract carries federal compliance obligations including DBE participation, Buy America, and Section 3 prevailing wage requirements.
