UNSPSC 48111304: Automatic ticket checking and collecting machine

A device that examines the passenger ticket automatically to open the gate or collect the ticket while controlling the access of users.

UNSPSC 48111304 Automatic ticket checking and collecting machine is a Commodity code that encompasses vending machine services, supply distribution systems, and associated software platforms procured by state and local governments to automate transaction processing, inventory management, and controlled-access distribution. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county departments, city fire and emergency services agencies, parks and recreation departments, and county boards of commissioners. The scope of work spans provision, installation, servicing, and maintenance of vending machines; software licensing and inventory management platforms; pharmaceuticals and medical supplies distribution through automated dispensing systems; and related technical support services. Contractors typically bear the capital costs of machines and software while receiving revenue through product sales, commissions, or service fees, though some jurisdictions structure agreements as non-transactional arrangements where machines are provided at no cost to the government entity in exchange for placement and customer access.
