UNSPSC 48111301: Ticket dispensing machines

UNSPSC 48111301 Ticket dispensing machines (Commodity) covers physical ticket-vending and point-of-sale equipment and related software platforms that state and local governments use to automate ticket sales and inventory management across venues, events, and recreational facilities. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both standalone hardware (vending machines, smart lockers, card readers) and integrated software platforms that manage ticketing workflows, payment processing, and customer access. The issuing bodies are diverse: county parks and recreation departments, city fire departments, county arts and culture authorities, and state universities. All four recent opportunities involve some form of ticketed service delivery — athletic events, emergency medical supply management, performing arts ticketing, and recreational facility access — suggesting the code captures both commercial event ticketing platforms and specialized vending systems for non-traditional sectors like emergency services.

Salt Lake County Arts & Culture, Prairie View A&M University, the City of Tucson Fire Department, and the White County Board of Commissioners Parks & Recreation Department all posted solicitations between January and June 2026. Salt Lake County issued an RFP for a comprehensive ticketing solution supporting over one million tickets annually across five performing arts venues and 14 consortium members, due February 24, 2026, with a five-year initial term. Prairie View A&M University solicited ticketing platform services for three campuses using a per-ticket fee model, with proposals due February 26, 2026 and a three-year initial term. The Tucson Fire Department included VendNovation brand vending machines and smart lockers with software as part of a broader EMS pharmaceutical and supply procurement (RFP 260217, due June 24, 2026), requiring integration with existing Operative IQ inventory software. White County Parks & Recreation requested vending machine services for five recreational facilities with multiple payment methods, proposals due May 22, 2026, under a one-year initial term with two optional renewals. The concentration of activity spans Arizona, Texas, Utah, and Georgia, with the most sophisticated opportunities (ticketing platforms for large event venues) concentrated in western states and higher-education systems.
