UNSPSC 48140101: Business management robot

A robot that manages business facilities such as cleaning, guidance, and information services

UNSPSC 48140101 Business management robot (Commodity) describes robotic equipment and systems that state and local governments are procuring for educational, operational, and field-management applications. Recent solicitations show school districts, community colleges, and city parks departments buying robotic arms for STEM instruction, collaborative manufacturing education, and specialized field operations—not software or administrative management platforms. The code sees activity across school districts (K–12 and higher education), city and county parks departments, and cooperative purchasing organizations serving multiple jurisdictions. Work solicited under this code includes collaborative robotic arms with gripper systems and comprehensive software compatibility for laboratory environments, robotic athletic field-painting systems with RTK-GNSS positioning and autonomous field-marking capability, and robotics supplies and STEM kits bundled within broader instructional-materials procurement vehicles.

Recent activity spans Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Florida. Arapahoe Community College on behalf of the State of Colorado issued a documented quote (DQ26-3-4126) in April 2026 for a Universal Robots UR5e Collaborative Robot Arm with workstation, mounting hardware, gripper sets, and delivery by June 24, 2026, with a five-percent price preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The City of Fort Worth Parks and Recreation Department (RFQt 26-0123, due March 9, 2026) sought a single robotic athletic field painter with RTK-GNSS positioning, multi-constellation satellite support, five-hour battery runtime, tablet-based control software with 120 preloaded field templates, onsite training, and warranty coverage under a one-year term with four one-year renewal options. Cartwright Elementary School District No. 83 on behalf of the SAVE cooperative (RFP260331, due June 8, 2026) solicited STEM kits and robotics supplies as part of a multi-vendor award covering an estimated $1,346,000 in annual usage across fifteen participating Arizona school districts. Katy Independent School District (RFP 2428KD-A, due May 29, 2026) included robotics supplies in a supplemental teaching-and-instructional-materials procurement with contract term through October 2027 and annual renewal options.
