UNSPSC 26121706: Coaxial assembly

Wiring harness components containing coaxial cable

UNSPSC 26121706 Coaxial assembly is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of audio-visual system components and integration services, particularly wireless microphone systems, signal processors, amplifiers, speakers, cameras, and related connectivity infrastructure for courtrooms, municipal chambers, stadiums, and educational facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city governments, counties, school districts, and special-purpose entities; recent activity shows repeat buyers including the City of Orlando, Collin County (Texas), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), and the School Board of Marion County (Florida). The work being solicited ranges from complete A/V system overhauls—such as the City of Orlando's Camping World Stadium main bowl sound system upgrade (RFP, due August 10, 2026)—to modular courtroom refreshes like Collin County's turnkey audio-video system for Justice of the Peace precincts (RFP, due May 29, 2025) and the City of Holly Hill's Commission Chambers upgrade (sealed proposal, due February 11, 2026). Contracts typically bundle furnishing, installation, programming, staff training, and warranty; evaluation criteria consistently weight technical capability, experience with similar installations, implementation timeline, and cost. Insurance requirements are standard across jurisdictions, generally ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Holly Hill, Marion County, Hillsborough County, Orlando, Pinellas County), Texas (Collin County, Northside ISD, Region 7 ESC), and Georgia (Clayton County, St. Marys), with secondary activity across the upper Midwest and mid-Atlantic. The Texas Department of Information Resources cooperative cabling contract (COOP2026SOL-00008, RFO due September 24, 2026) demonstrates broader regional infrastructure investment, serving multiple state agencies and municipalities across Texas zones. Wake County's Hammond Road Parking Deck camera and intercom replacement (IFB, due August 20, 2026) and the Pinellas County School District's Theater Lighting Renovations (ITB, due May 15, 2026, ~$501,000) illustrate the code's use for lifecycle equipment replacement in security and performance spaces. Contractual structures favor fixed-price lump-sum awards with performance-based payment stages, liquidated damages for schedule delays, extended warranty obligations (typically 12 months post-completion), and retention provisions. Vendor qualification thresholds commonly require three to five years of documented experience in comparable installations, relevant trade licensing (electrical contractor certification in some states), and bonding at or above 100% of contract value for larger projects.
