UNSPSC 41115505: Acoustic testing rooms

UNSPSC 41115505 Acoustic testing rooms is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitation activity covers audiovisual and acoustical assessment services rather than the testing rooms the code name suggests. The work includes comprehensive technical evaluation of sound systems and assisted listening systems in large public facilities, condition assessment across multiple spaces, acoustical compliance analysis, upgrade recommendations, and cost-benefit analysis. State and local buyers using this code span regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts and independent authorities managing major public venues. Recent opportunities show single-source assessments rather than ongoing testing-room procurement or maintenance.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and the District of Columbia. The Washington Convention and Sports Authority (Events DC) posted RFP 25-S-047 on April 30, 2026, for audiovisual and acoustical technical assessment services at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, with proposals due May 29, 2026, and contract term from award through September 30, 2027, plus four optional one-year renewals; the solicitation requires a Project Manager with 10+ years' large-venue experience, an AV Systems Engineer with CTS-D certification, and an Acoustical Consultant with five years' assisted-listening-systems expertise, with evaluation weighted 85 points for technical merit and 15 points for price, plus up to 12 preference points for Certified Business Enterprises, and a mandatory 35% subcontracting set-aside for District CBEs on contracts over $250,000. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a catalog discount bid (MUSIC2628) for musical instruments and related supplies to school districts with proposals due May 28, 2026, and contract award value of $9,809,750.00 across a two-year term beginning June 18, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity and appears to tag opportunities that do not align closely with acoustic-testing-room procurement or installation.
