UNSPSC 48140100: Professional service robot

Robots that perform professional tasks or provide services for unspecified people. A professional service robot is defined as a semi- or fully autonomous robot for automation of commercial tasks.

UNSPSC 48140100 Professional service robot is a Class code that encompasses educational robotics equipment and robotic systems procured for instructional, operational, and specialized labor purposes by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show school districts, community colleges, and municipal governments purchasing collaborative robotic arms for STEM instruction, robotic field-painting systems for parks maintenance, and robotics supplies as part of broader instructional material packages. Work ranges from turnkey robotic arm systems with software integration and training to specialized robotic equipment for athletic field maintenance, along with supporting accessories, grippers, workstations, and consumable robotics supplies for classroom use.

Arapahoe Community College (Colorado) and the City of Fort Worth Parks and Recreation Department (Texas) represent standout recent buyers, with the College issuing two documented quotes in April 2026 for Universal Robots UR5e Collaborative Robot Arm systems complete with workstation enclosures, gripper kits, and on-site installation, while Fort Worth issued an RFQt in March 2026 for a robotic athletic field painter with RTK-GNSS positioning, tablet control, and multi-year service terms. Colorado, Texas, and Arizona show the strongest recent activity under this code. Katy Independent School District (Texas) and Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 (Arizona, acting through the SAVE cooperative) have also posted supplemental and framework RFPs for robotics supplies and STEM equipment as part of broader instructional material procurement. Typical evaluation criteria weight price heavily (30–40 percent), followed by vendor experience, product quality, and past performance with similar-sized districts. School district contracts commonly run one to three years with renewal options; evaluation timelines compress around academic planning cycles, with many responses due in late May through early June to support July contract starts.
