UNSPSC 45111707: Audio equipment connector and stage box

A box that features multiple audio signal connectors, enabling multiple microphones and other audio signals to be plugged into a box located on stage, connected by multicore cable to a remote audio mixing desk.

UNSPSC 45111707 Audio equipment connector and stage box, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply and installation of audio-visual connectors, stage boxes, integrated AV systems, and related hardware that state and local governments procure to upgrade conference rooms, courtrooms, auditoriums, emergency operations centers, and public-facing facilities. Recent opportunities show municipalities, school districts, and county governments sourcing comprehensive AV systems—microphone systems, digital signal processors, amplifiers, speakers, wireless access points, cameras, control systems, and associated cabling infrastructure—typically as turnkey installations bundled with design, programming, staff training, and multi-year maintenance support. The City of Holly Hill, Florida (RFP 26PW01, due February 11, 2026) is upgrading Commission Chambers with nine wireless microphone systems, ceiling speakers, Dante-based processors, and intelligent camera systems; Volusia County (RFP 26-P-33JRD, due January 29, 2026) is renovating its Emergency Operations Center with comprehensive A/V infrastructure including structured cabling and distributed communications systems; and the City of Dahlonega, Georgia (RFP 2026-003, due October 23, 2026) is installing council chambers upgrades with microphones, displays, video conferencing, and recording capabilities. This code also captures district-wide procurements, such as City Colleges of Chicago's multimedia classroom modernization across seven colleges (RFP NC2621, due September 8, 2026) and cooperative purchasing vehicles like the Texas TIPS consortium's audio visual equipment framework (RFP 260901, due October 16, 2026) that pre-negotiate pricing for participating state and local entities.

Issuing bodies span cities, counties, independent school districts, public higher education institutions, and regional authorities; repeat buyers include school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Clarkston Community Schools, Northside ISD, Dallas ISD, Fulton County Schools), county governments (Volusia, Collin, Gwinnett, Wake, Glynn), municipal governments (Holly Hill, Dahlonega, Arlington, Santa Monica, Tybee Island, Orlando), and multi-jurisdictional or cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Michigan, Colorado, and Illinois, with scattered opportunities in other states. Representative opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's comprehensive audio-visual and production rigging services solicitation (RFP PE92200RFP2027000000093, due September 30, 2026), which seeks an exclusive preferred provider for trade shows and conventions across multiple Atlanta-area facilities; Central Health's RFP for live-event AV production services (RFP 2608-002, due September 11, 2026) structured to contract with up to three vendors on an as-needed basis; and Camping World Stadium's turn-key sound system upgrade (RFP RFP260476, due August 10, 2026) valued at substantial investment with two-year initial term and eight optional one-year extensions. Most opportunities are posted as RFPs or IFBs with response windows of 6–12 weeks; evaluation criteria typically weight experience and qualifications at 20–35 percent, technical approach at 20–35 percent, and pricing at 15–50 percent, with many requiring proof of insurance, references, and sometimes prevailing wage compliance or set-aside participation.
