UNSPSC 41111715: Telescopes

UNSPSC 41111715 Telescopes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers surveillance camera systems and associated network audio equipment rather than optical telescopes. The City of Pembroke Pines Police Department and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle serving thousands of governmental entities across the United States and Canada) have posted opportunities for law enforcement surveillance and security equipment including fixed and panoramic network dome cameras, corner-mounted cameras, and integrated network speakers with AI analytics capabilities. The work involves specification and procurement of new, manufacturer-standard security camera and audio systems designed to integrate with existing video management infrastructure, enhance emergency communication coverage, and provide advanced analytics features. Issuing bodies include municipal police departments and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand from counties, cities, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Pacific Northwest and Florida. The City of Pembroke Pines Police Department issued RFQ PD26QQ02 (due September 2, 2026) seeking Axis security equipment including 16 corner-mounted 5MP cameras, 7 panoramic 6MP dome cameras, 7 panoramic 12MP mini dome cameras, and networked ceiling and mini speakers, with an estimated project cost of $32,000 and a 10-calendar-day delivery requirement following purchase order issuance. Sourcewell posted RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment serving participating entities across Washington state (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County named) and numerous other jurisdictions nationwide; submissions were required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows modest but concrete recent activity tied to camera and speaker procurement for security and emergency communications.
