UNSPSC 45111613: Cathode ray tube projector

UNSPSC 45111613 Cathode ray tube projector (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code. The Commodity's nominal definition — cathode ray tube projection technology — is obsolete in current procurement practice, yet the recent opportunities show active buying of interactive display panels, audio-visual system integration, classroom video conferencing equipment, and distance-learning infrastructure. State and local governments are not buying CRT projectors; they are procuring modern interactive panels (75-inch UHD 4K touchscreen displays), integrated A/V systems for hybrid meetings, classroom audio equipment, and network-connected video conferencing solutions. School districts drive the volume here, with additional activity from municipal governments and specialized educational institutions. The coding mismatch suggests either legacy taxonomy that has not caught up with technology adoption or miscategorization at the point of entry.

Representative recent activity spans school districts and municipalities across the South and Southwest. The City of Tucson issued RFP 230149 (posted April 10, 2023, proposals due May 10, 2023) seeking standardized A/V packages for over 100 conference rooms across city facilities, with an anticipated three-year contract value of approximately $1 million and estimated annual cooperative purchasing volume of $15 million through AXIA Cooperative.
