UNSPSC 82141705: Augmented reality service

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information

UNSPSC 82141705 Augmented reality service is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity spans software subscriptions, platform access, and data analytics tools bearing limited connection to traditional augmented reality technology. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted RFPs for healthcare workforce matching platforms (PracticeMatch), Altair data analysis software (Monarch), and national practitioner database continuous query subscriptions, none of which involve augmented or immersive visualization. Illinois Secretary of State issued a change order for broadband service upgrades unrelated to the code tier, and additional recent records show wide area network services, classroom technology integrations, cybersecurity platforms, and infrastructure construction projects—all commonly miscoded under this commodity classification.

State and local procurement bodies posting under this code include health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, DSHS), regional technical colleges (TSTC, OFLTC, WGTC), school districts and community colleges across Texas and Georgia, municipalities (San Mateo County Parks, City of Albuquerque, City of Meriden Connecticut), and county governments (Orange County Florida, Pasco County Florida). Texas agencies dominate recent activity, followed by Georgia technical colleges and Florida municipalities. No representative augmented reality opportunities are present in the recent-opportunities block; the code shows material miscoding and little activity aligned with its title, making it an inactive or misapplied category from a business development perspective.
