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 (Commodity) covers ticketing platform software, vending machines with transaction capabilities, and related hardware and services that state and local governments procure to manage admissions, event attendance, and product distribution. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring integrated ticketing solutions combining software platforms, hardware infrastructure, payment processing, and ongoing support—typically for performing arts venues, educational institutions, emergency medical services inventory management, and recreation facilities. The issuing bodies span state universities, county arts departments, county parks and recreation systems, city fire departments, and municipal airport authorities, reflecting ticketing demand across cultural venues, educational campuses, emergency services logistics, and public recreation.

Recent solicitations include Salt Lake County Arts & Culture issuing an RFP (due February 24, 2026) for a comprehensive ticketing platform to process over one million tickets annually across five performing arts venues and 14 consortium members, with a five-year initial term and 99.9 percent uptime guarantees; Prairie View A&M University seeking ticketing platform services (due February 26, 2026) for athletic events and ceremonies across three Texas campuses under a per-ticket fee model with HUB participation requirements; the City of Tucson Fire Department procuring VendNovation vending machines and EMS software (due June 24, 2026) under federal ARPA and HUD funding with Davis-Bacon and Section 3 compliance; and White County (Georgia) Parks & Recreation issuing an RFP for vending machine services at five recreational facilities (due May 22, 2026) with no cost to the County. Sacramento County Department of Airports also posted an RFP for bag tags and automated ticket and boarding pass stock through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance (SCoPA) cooperative purchasing program. Activity is concentrated in the West (California, Utah, Arizona, Texas, Georgia), with urban and county jurisdictions leading procurement, and contract terms typically range from one to five years with renewal options.
