UNSPSC 43221506: Teleconferencing console

A device permitting more than two people to be linked by telecommunications through a conference bridge

UNSPSC 43221506 Teleconferencing console is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure comprehensive audio-visual and conferencing infrastructure spanning much broader territory than the code's nominal name suggests. Recent solicitations characterize actual purchasing as system design, procurement, installation, integration, maintenance, and repair services for presentation and communication systems in council chambers, conference rooms, courthouses, event spaces, emergency operations centers, and educational facilities—often bundled with control systems, cabling, cameras, microphones, displays, and multi-year service agreements rather than console equipment in isolation. Issuing bodies include city governments (Arlington, Santa Monica, Philadelphia, Charlotte, St. Marys, Detroit, New Smyrna Beach), county administrations (Wake County, Volusia County, Collin County, Marion County, Harris County, Fulton County), state agencies (Railroad Commission of Texas, Nevada State Contractors Board, California), school districts (Northside Independent School District, Fulton County Schools, Valencia College District), special-purpose districts (Atlanta Regional Commission, Georgia World Congress Center), and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System). A subset of solicitations issued through cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell and the City of Portland Price Agreement, indicating that state and local agencies routinely leverage cooperative contracts to access AV integration services.

Recent activity spans Texas (Northside ISD, Harris County, Railroad Commission, Collin County, Arlington), Georgia (Atlanta Regional Commission, GWCC, Fulton County Schools), Florida (Volusia County, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission, Valencia College District), North Carolina (Wake County, Charlotte), Nevada (Nevada State Contractors Board), California (State of California), the District of Columbia, and Oregon (Marion County), with Texas and Georgia showing the highest concentration of posted opportunities in the past ninety days. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-072 (posted July 14, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for classroom projectors, AV equipment, installation, removal, and repair under indefinite quantity contract; City of Santa Monica's RFP 2026RFP00034 (posted July 7, 2026, due August 3, 2026) for citywide audio-visual systems integration, maintenance, and support services across conference rooms and event spaces with five-year firm-fixed terms and prevailing wage requirements; City of Arlington's RFP 260265 (posted July 9, 2026, due August 20, 2026) for LED video walls to replace aging monitors in council chambers and briefing rooms; and Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 30, 2026) for classroom and conference room technology services college-wide, with approximately $1.6 million in annual historical spending and a three-year initial term. All major recent opportunities enumerate five-plus-year experience requirements, mandate multiple client references from comparable projects, require proof of relevant certifications (Crestron, low-voltage contractor licenses, manufacturer partnerships), and structure evaluation around technical competence, experience, service capacity, and cost—with contract values ranging from sub-$50,000 micro purchases to multi-million-dollar multi-year integrations.
