UNSPSC 43191513: Video phone

Videophone is a telephone which is capable of both audio and video duplex transmission. It uses regular telephone lines.

UNSPSC 43191513 Video phone is a Commodity code covering audio and video communication equipment and related installation services that state and local governments procure for courtrooms, conference rooms, correctional facilities, and institutional communication infrastructure. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring integrated A/V systems with microphones, cameras, speakers, control systems, and associated programming; videographer service contracts; video booth enclosures for secure inmate communication; and electronic communication systems for correctional facilities. The scope diverges sharply from the narrow "video phone" label — buyers are requesting comprehensive A/V infrastructure upgrades, professional videography vendor rosters, and specialized communication equipment for jails rather than traditional telephony devices. Issuing bodies include city governments (Holly Hill, Florida), state procurement offices (Rhode Island), county sheriff's offices and jails (Marion County Oregon, Ada County Idaho), and state departments of corrections (Illinois). Counties and correctional facilities appear as repeat buyers, reflecting the code's heavy use in detention and public safety operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Oregon, Idaho, Rhode Island, and Illinois. The City of Holly Hill, Florida issued RFP 26PW01 for Commission Chambers audio and video system upgrades including wireless microphones, ceiling speakers, cameras, and system programming, with sealed proposals due February 11, 2026. The State of Rhode Island established Master Price Agreement 213 (MPA 213) for videographer services through open enrollment with multiple awards, proposals due September 14, 2026, for statewide use by state entities and political subdivisions. Marion County, Oregon issued multiple special procurement notices (July 20 and August 3, 2026) for interim communication services and equipment at the Marion County Jail with ICSolutions Advanced Technologies. Ada County, Idaho requested proposals under RFP 26056 for a video booth enclosure for secure inmate videoconferencing at the Ada County Jail, due June 27, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections finalized emergency procurement costs for inmate electronic communication services. Pre-bid conferences, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and insurance requirements appear standard across jurisdictions.
