UNSPSC 43221522: Teleconference equipment

Equipment used in hosting and serving teleconferencing capabilities through a conference bridge.

UNSPSC 43221522 Teleconference equipment (Commodity) encompasses the design, supply, installation, and maintenance of audio-visual systems for government meeting spaces, courtrooms, emergency operations centers, and educational facilities. State and local governments procure integrated AV solutions combining wireless microphones, digital signal processors, ceiling speakers, PTZ cameras, video displays, control systems, cabling infrastructure, and associated programming and training services. Issuing bodies span city governments (Holly Hill, Santa Monica, Arlington, St. Marys, Detroit, Philadelphia), county jurisdictions (Volusia, Glynn, Collin, Hillsborough, Marion), school districts (City Colleges of Chicago, Northside ISD, Fulton County Schools), special-purpose districts (Railroad Commission of Texas, Atlanta Regional Commission), and state agencies. Cities and counties dominate recent activity, with school districts pursuing classroom and multimedia modernization and courtroom systems representing a distinct vertical. Representative solicitations include the City of Holly Hill's RFP for Commission Chambers audio-video system upgrades (due February 11, 2026), Volusia County's RFP for Emergency Operations Center AV/IT renovations (due January 29, 2026), and City Colleges of Chicago's RFP for multimedia classroom equipment and services across more than 500 classrooms (due September 8, 2026 with 25% MBE and 7% WBE participation goals).

Geographic concentration spans Florida (Holly Hill, Volusia County, Hillsborough County), Texas (Collin County, Railroad Commission, Arlington, Tucson), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, Atlanta Regional Commission), and California (Santa Monica), with additional activity in Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The code sees consistent quarterly activity across municipal council chambers, judicial facilities, emergency operations centers, educational multimedia spaces, and government event venues. Scope emphasizes turnkey system design and integration, with vendors responsible for equipment procurement, installation, programming, staff training, and extended warranty and maintenance commitments. Vendors typically must hold manufacturer certifications (Crestron, Biamp, Cisco, Shure), demonstrate project-specific experience with comparable deployments, carry commercial general liability insurance at $1 million to $5 million per occurrence depending on jurisdiction, and comply with local prevailing wage, E-Verify, and set-aside requirements where applicable. Contract terms range from one-time purchases to three-to-five-year service agreements with renewal options. Evaluation commonly weights technical capability, experience and references, implementation plan, and cost at 30, 10–25, 10–20, and 50 percent respectively.
