UNSPSC 81161701: Fax Administration Service

A service involving the administration of user accounts for shared facimile machines.

UNSPSC 81161701 Fax Administration Service is a Commodity code that encompasses hosted and standalone fax service delivery to state and local agencies, higher education institutions, school districts, and health services organizations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing secure fax transmission services, eFax platforms, and integrated voice-and-fax infrastructure supporting operational workflows across dispersed facility networks. The University of Oregon is procuring secure facsimile capabilities for health services compliance, the State of Illinois is contracting for eFax platform access, and Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia is seeking hosted voice and fax services spanning 67 school locations. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices, public higher-education purchasing departments, K–12 school districts, and university health services divisions. Fax service is often bundled with voice infrastructure rather than procured as a standalone commodity, reflecting the convergence of unified communications platforms in state and local telecommunications modernization efforts.

Activity under this code concentrates in Georgia and Illinois, with secondary representation in Florida and Oregon.
