UNSPSC 45111608: Film projectors

UNSPSC 45111608 Film projectors (Commodity) covers classroom and institutional projector procurement, installation, repair, and related audiovisual equipment services that state and local governments bundle into technology contracts for schools and colleges. Recent solicitations show school districts and higher education institutions purchasing projectors as part of turnkey audiovisual system upgrades, often paired with installation, removal, ongoing maintenance, and repair services rather than as standalone equipment buys. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, community college systems, and state or regional cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. The work spans full-system design and programming, equipment procurement from specific manufacturers, on-site installation and commissioning, troubleshooting and repair, warranty administration, and dedicated account management with rapid response service levels.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida based on recent RFP volume. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP2026072 on July 14, 2026 (due August 6, 2026) for an indefinite quantity contract covering classroom projectors, AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services, consolidating two expired contracts and requiring all incumbent vendors to recompete. Valencia College District Board of Trustees in Florida issued RFP 2026-26 on April 6, 2026 (due April 30, 2026) seeking a full-service integrator or supplier for classroom and conference room technology services across nine campuses and approximately 900 spaces, with historical annual spending near $1.6 million and mandatory qualifications including five years of active experience and completion of at least ten similar projects within three years. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment with participation from Washington counties and entities nationwide, though this opportunity shows minimal direct relevance to classroom projector procurement and suggests some tagging misalignment within the code's recent activity.
