UNSPSC 45111617: Overhead projector or video trolleys

UNSPSC 45111617 Overhead projector or video trolleys is a Commodity code covering the procurement, installation, repair, and servicing of classroom and conference room projection equipment and ancillary audiovisual hardware. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and higher-education institutions that manage multiple classrooms or lecture halls, along with special-purpose districts operating cultural facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and colleges bundling projector and AV equipment purchases with installation, removal, and ongoing maintenance services in multi-year contracts. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, community college district boards of trustees, county procurement offices acting on behalf of cooperative purchasing entities, and county cultural agencies. The work spans equipment procurement with manufacturer discounts, site-specific installation and configuration, integration with control systems and wireless display technologies, removal of legacy systems, same-day to next-day repair response, and system programming and automation.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with additional recent solicitations in Utah and multi-state cooperative purchasing driven from Minnesota. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posted RFP 2026072 in July 2026 seeking an indefinite quantity contract for classroom projectors, AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services, with proposals due August 6, 2026; this RFP consolidates two expired contracts and requires all incumbent vendors to re-compete. Valencia College District (Florida) issued RFP 2026-26 in April 2026 for college-wide classroom and conference room technology services across nine campuses, covering approximately 900 rooms with an average annual spending of $1.6 million and a three-year initial term with optional one-year extensions; proposals were due April 30, 2026. Salt Lake County (Utah) solicited a sole-source procurement in March 2026 for projectors and a Digistar 2025 theater upgrade at Clark Planetarium, estimated at $388,200. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating public entities nationwide, though the scope of that opportunity does not align clearly with overhead projector and trolley procurement.
