UNSPSC 52161523: Radio frequency transmitters or receivers

UNSPSC 52161523 Radio frequency transmitters or receivers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure RF communication and detection equipment, installation services, and system optimization for emergency response, law enforcement, fleet operations, and facility coverage. Recent solicitations show a mix of turnkey system deployments, equipment supply with maintenance, and integration into existing infrastructure across multiple agency types. The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida issued an ITQ for inspection, installation, and repair of two-way radio systems and related communication hardware across its school bus fleet, while the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department in California procured security electronics and detention equipment services under a job-order contracting vehicle with a $3 million not-to-exceed value. Santa Clara County has issued multiple RFQs for Motorola radios and accessories for its Sheriff's Office, and the City of Phoenix invited sealed offers for turnkey in-building RF coverage enhancement using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems at its airports and municipal facilities.

Issuing bodies range across county sheriffs' departments, municipal aviation and public works agencies, school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with additional procurement from Arizona, Minnesota-based cooperatives serving multiple western states, and Texas higher education. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix IFB for in-building RF coverage (responses due July 10, 2026 for a five-year term beginning August 25, 2026), the Hillsborough County ITQ for vehicle communication systems (due June 3, 2026), the Orange County Sheriff IFB for security electronics and detention equipment services (due August 19, 2026 with a mandatory pre-bid meeting August 10), and Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment serving thousands of governmental agencies across multiple states (due June 16, 2026). Santa Clara County appears as a repeat buyer, with two separate RFQs for Motorola radio equipment posted in June and July 2026.
