UNSPSC 83130102: Wireless communication service

The transmission side emits an information signal on a radio wave using space as a transmission medium, and the receiving side receives the electromagnetic wave transmitted through the space to restore the original signal.

UNSPSC 83130102 Wireless communication service is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually procuring today as a diverse mix of narrowly scoped software and service offerings—call center telephone systems, unified communications platforms, network infrastructure, license renewals for collaboration tools, and satellite internet services—rather than as traditional wireless carrier voice and data plans. The code sits in a fragmented market where issuing bodies range across state agencies, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities, with no obvious repeat buyers concentrated in a single jurisdiction or customer class. Recent solicitations show public bodies using the code to tag everything from university-hosted call-center software (University of Georgia's veterinary teaching hospital, July 2026) to statewide cooperative purchasing agreements for data communications hardware and services (Oregon Department of Administrative Services participating in the RFx Premier Master Agreement, July 2026) to county IT renewals for Citrix universal cloud and NetScaler RMA units (Gwinnett County, Georgia, July 2026). The scope spans software licensing and SaaS renewal, equipment supply, professional services implementation, and long-term managed support, often bundled into single procurements.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) and Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon) based on recent posting dates, with secondary activity across Texas, California, and Illinois. The Texas Department of Information Resources is actively managing a statewide cellular and wireless services contract (TEX-AN-WPS) with responses due July 23, 2026, covering cellular voice and data plans, pager services, satellite communications, and network buildout for state agencies. Washington State's Computer Aided Dispatch system (RFP 26-012, due July 30, 2026) seeks a vendor-hosted, hub-based CAD-to-CAD interoperability platform for emergency response across five participating counties with an estimated contract value of $3 million to $4.8 million. The City of Tucson's AI-powered service automation platform (Axia Cooperative program, due July 13, 2026) structures a nationwide master agreement with $25 million estimated annual volume, indicating that cooperative purchasing vehicles are actively consolidating wireless and communications service demand across multiple jurisdictions. These opportunities suggest moderate-to-heavy pipeline activity in the code, with multiyear contracts, substantial implementation scope, and technical complexity creating sustained opportunity for systems integrators, software vendors, and managed service providers willing to engage in multi-jurisdiction, multi-phase deployments.
