UNSPSC 45111504: Lighting or power or data components for lecterns

UNSPSC 45111504 Lighting or power or data components for lecterns is a Commodity code capturing the electrical and data infrastructure integrated into lectern assemblies procured by state and local jurisdictions for convention centers, auditoriums, and public meeting spaces. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing complete lectern units that bundle solid wood construction, integrated LED lighting, power distribution (outlet strips with circuit breakers), data connectivity (XLR adapters), and wheeled mobility into a single podium platform. The work involves supplying finished goods meeting precise dimensional and component specifications rather than providing component-level parts or assembly services. Issuing bodies are predominantly convention authorities, special-purpose districts, and event management entities that manage public assembly facilities and need standardized lectern equipment for recurring conference and ceremonial use.

The Washington Convention and Sports Authority (Events DC), an independent authority of the District of Columbia Government, posted RFQ #25-S-027 on January 27, 2026, soliciting quotes for supply of Congressional Conventioneer Lecterns (L-200-25 model) with a response deadline of February 17, 2026. The specification calls for lecterns approximately 25 inches wide by 23 inches deep by 48 inches high, outfitted with a 12-inch LED gooseneck light, a six-outlet power strip with circuit breaker, XLR adapters, and swivel casters with locking mechanisms. Events DC intends to award a firm-fixed price contract to the lowest-price responsive bidder over a base term through September 30, 2026, with four one-year renewal options. Vendors must hold three years of documented experience supplying and delivering these goods and comply with District of Columbia Living Wage Act requirements, Service Contract Act wage determinations, and Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Events DC offers Certified Business Enterprise preference points for small business enterprises, resident-owned businesses, disadvantaged business enterprises, and local manufacturing businesses, with subcontracting requirements of at least 35 percent to certified small or disadvantaged businesses for contracts exceeding $250,000.
