UNSPSC 72151600 Specialized communication system services, a Class code, encompasses installation, maintenance, and support services for signal distribution, emergency alerting, mobile dispatch, intercom, security notification, and related low-voltage communication infrastructure across state and local facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code for fire station alerting systems, vehicle diagnostic communication systems, burglar alarm installations, entry-access and intercom system maintenance, phone system replacements, fiber optic cabling and splicing, mobile radio and data terminal support, and building-wide public address and security systems. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Lake County Schools, Holyoke School Department, Atlantic Cape Community College), cities (Norwich, Bristol, Stamford, Norwalk, Columbus), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Broward County Transit), county governments (York County Pennsylvania, Orange County California), and specialized districts (Norwich Public Utility). The code sees activity across Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts jurisdictions, with repeat activity from Florida school districts managing large vehicle and facility fleets.
