UNSPSC 83111900: Radio services

UNSPSC 83111900 Radio services is a Class code encompassing maintenance, repair, and broadcast engineering for two-way radio systems, emergency communications infrastructure, and radio-based public outreach campaigns. State and local governments buy under this code maintenance contracts for first-responder radio equipment, live broadcast services for special events, and integrated radio advertising campaigns for public awareness initiatives. The issuing bodies are varied — cities (Worcester, Phoenix, Midland), counties (Broward, Hillsborough), and state agencies (Rhode Island) — as well as special-purpose authorities such as the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority and Texas State Technical College. Representative current solicitations include the City of Worcester's October 2026 bid for two-way radio equipment maintenance and repair services (due November 4, 2026), the City of Midland's RFP for live broadcasting of the 2026 Christmas Tree Lighting and Parade (due October 8, 2026), and Broward County's SBE-reserved contract for a Manatee Awareness Radio Campaign with 1,500-plus radio spots across 11 stations from December through March (responses due August 10, 2026).

Geographic activity spans Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, and Rhode Island, with additional recent activity in Arizona and New Jersey. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB for in-building radio frequency coverage using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems across the city's airports and facilities (due July 10, 2026, with a five-year term beginning August 2026). The New Jersey Department of Treasury, on behalf of the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority, solicited transmission facility management services covering thirteen television transmission sites across Northern, Central, and Southern regions (bid due June 12, 2026, mandatory site visit June 2, with a three-year initial term and two one-year renewal options). The Town of Millbury posted an RFP for radio communications consulting (due July 31, 2026) and Hillsborough County procured the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI broadcast and content-delivery system (due June 22, 2026). Activity under this code reflects a mix of emergency-services infrastructure investment, public-agency broadcast and streaming needs, and targeted radio advertising for community engagement, with evaluation emphasis on technical qualifications, compliance certifications, and insurance requirements.
