UNSPSC 41111909: Magnetic tape recorders

UNSPSC 41111909 Magnetic tape recorders is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity posted under it reflects classroom and conference room technology systems integration — projectors, control panels, audio systems, document cameras, and wireless display infrastructure — rather than tape-based recording equipment. Valencia College District Board of Trustees in Florida issued RFP 2026-26 in April 2026 seeking a comprehensive technology services provider to supply, install, maintain, and support classroom and conference room technology across nine campus locations serving approximately 900 rooms. The work encompasses turnkey design, engineering, programming, installation, repair, and ongoing technical support, either from a full-service integrator or a supplier with established integration partnerships. The College anticipates upgrading 50–75 rooms annually and has averaged $1.6 million in annual spending over the past five fiscal years. Required qualifications include five years of active business performing similar services and completion of at least ten projects within the last three years meeting specified criteria.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida based on the single recent opportunity identified. Valencia College's RFP 2026-26 (posted April 6, 2026; due April 30, 2026) represents the primary recent solicitation under this code, with a three-phase evaluation process including written submissions scoring company qualifications, experience, operating plan, price, and demonstrated capability, followed by interviews and contract negotiations with the highest-ranked firm. The contract awards for an initial three-year term with optional extensions of two additional one-year periods for a cumulative maximum of five years. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for April 8, 2026, with a questions deadline of April 21, 2026. No other recent state or local opportunities appear in the source material, suggesting minimal current activity under this code beyond the Valencia College procurement.
