UNSPSC 45111702: Audio jack boxes

UNSPSC 45111702 Audio jack boxes, a Commodity code, does not reflect the current state and local procurement activity under this classification. State and local governments are soliciting comprehensive audio-visual systems, equipment, installation, and integration services—far broader in scope than discrete audio jack boxes. Recent opportunities span conference room upgrades, courtroom and council chamber system replacements, stadium sound system overhauls, emergency operations center deployments, classroom technology installations, and specialized audiovisual production services for events. The work encompasses system design, procurement of integrated equipment (projectors, microphones, speakers, displays, control systems, cameras, digital signal processors), full installation and cabling infrastructure, programming, staff training, maintenance, and extended warranty coverage. Issuing bodies include city governments (Orlando, Santa Monica, Arlington, College Park, Dahlonega, Tybee Island, St. Marys), counties (Volusia, Wake, Collin, Gwinnett, Harris, Marion, Crisp, Glynn), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, City Colleges of Chicago, Northside ISD, Clarkston Community Schools, Fulton County Schools, Dallas ISD), higher education institutions (Auraria Higher Education Center, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Texas A&M System), transit and venue authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Camping World Stadium), and special-purpose entities (Central Health/Travis County Healthcare District, Railroad Commission of Texas). The code shows activity primarily across Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, Michigan, Colorado, and Illinois, with scattered opportunities in other states. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Holly Hill, Florida's RFP 26PW01 for Commission Chambers Audio/Video System Upgrade (RFP, due February 11, 2026), Volusia County's RFP 26-P-33JRD for Emergency Operations Center A/V IT Renovations (RFP, due January 29, 2026), and the City of Dahlonega's RFP 2026-003 for City Hall Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades (RFP, due October 23, 2026).

Fort Bend Independent School District solicited Athletics Audio & Visual Equipment, Related Items and Services (RFP 27011RA, due November 16, 2026), and City Colleges of Chicago requested audio-visual equipment and services for multimedia classroom modernization across its seven colleges (RFP NC2621, due September 8, 2026 with 25% MBE and 7% WBE participation goals). Texas Procurement and Support Services (TIPS) established a cooperative purchasing framework for audio-visual equipment, supplies, and services (Solicitation 260901, due October 16, 2026) to serve authorized state and local entities. The Camping World Stadium main bowl sound system upgrade (RFP 260476, proposals extended to August 10, 2026) represents a turn-key installation with two-year contract term and eight one-year renewal options, valued at over $1 million based on the compressed timeline and scope. Activity is continuous across Q3 and Q4 2026, with pre-bid meetings, mandatory or strongly encouraged site visits, and technical specification packages that typically require reseller certification, prior project references, and demonstration of integration expertise with platforms such as Crestron, Biamp, and cisco equipment. Set-asides and preferences vary—MBE/WBE goals appear in several school-district and city procurements, and VBE preference is noted in the Orlando stadium project. Many solicitations require comprehensive insurance (general liability typically $1 million to $5 million per occurrence), workers' compensation, and performance or payment bonds for awards exceeding set thresholds.
