UNSPSC 83130000: Information and communication broadcasting Service

Services that provide information, communication, broadcasting, etc.

UNSPSC 83130000 Information and communication broadcasting Service is a Family code encompassing the broadcast, production, and distribution infrastructure and services that state and local governments deploy to reach constituents through television, radio, streaming, and digital channels. State and local agencies procure turnkey broadcast system hardware and software, content production and creative services, transmission facility operations, emergency communications infrastructure, and voter and public information campaigns under this code. The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, state departments, county authorities, special-purpose public broadcasting entities, and higher education institutions. Recent solicitations show a mix of in-building radio frequency coverage and emergency responder systems, broadcast automation and video-on-demand platforms, and professional creative production for voter outreach and public communications. The City of Phoenix has issued multiple sealed bids for emergency responder radio coverage systems (ERRCS) and distributed antenna systems (DAS) across municipal buildings; Hillsborough County is procuring an integrated broadcast playout and content-delivery system; the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority, through the Department of the Treasury, is seeking transmission facility management across thirteen regional TV facilities; and municipalities and state agencies are routinely buying on-call graphic design, video production, and integrated media campaign services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Arizona, New Jersey, Washington, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Delaware, with multiple rounds of solicitation in Arizona and Florida suggesting sustained demand in those states. Representative opportunities include the City of Milpitas RFP 26-155 for communications and marketing support services due July 28, 2026, covering graphic design, video production, and media planning on a five-year on-call basis; the City of Phoenix IFB-26-0355 for in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement due July 10, 2026, using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems; Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement of the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI broadcast automation and streaming system (due June 22, 2026); and the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State RFP 26-03 for voter information multimedia production and distribution across five counties with a not-to-exceed value of $160,000 and June 1, 2026 response deadline. The New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority's three-year transmission facility management contract (due July 21, 2026) carries prevailing wage and small business set-aside requirements. Pricing structures range from all-inclusive annual rates capped at CPI or 3% to firm-fixed hourly labor rates for specialized technical personnel; most multi-year contracts include optional extensions and require proof of insurance, equipment certifications (NICET, FCC compliance, NFPA standards), and experience with comparable public-sector or complex organization deployments.
