UNSPSC 45111709: Remote amplifier

Equipment that may control the main equipment from a specific area of the outside with remote control. This equipment selects the power ON--OFF and speaker line and adjusts as in the main equipment.

UNSPSC 45111709 Remote amplifier (Commodity) frames a narrow product category, but state and local procurement activity under the code shows little relevant alignment—the recent opportunities posted under this code span classroom projectors, LED video walls, comprehensive AV systems integration, stadium sound upgrades, interactive flat panels, and a range of audio-visual services delivery that exceed or fall outside the scope of a discrete remote amplifier component. School districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas; Jones County School System in Georgia; Cobb County School District in Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Walled Lake Consolidated School District in Michigan) and municipalities (City of Arlington, Texas; City of Santa Monica; City of Orlando; City of St. Marys, Georgia) are the primary issuing bodies, with universities and county departments represented less frequently. The code shows no clear pattern of direct remote-amplifier procurement; instead, issuers are bundling amplification as a subordinate component within larger AV systems-integration, classroom-technology, or event-support contracts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with scattered procurement in California, Michigan, Connecticut, and other states.

When recent opportunities are examined for amplifier-specific activity, the mismatch is evident. Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026072 (posted July 14, 2026, due August 6) solicits classroom projectors and AV equipment, procurement, installation, removal, and repair—a bundled indefinite-quantity contract where remote amplifiers, if needed at all, would be ancillary to projector and control systems. The City of Santa Monica's RFP 2026-26 (posted July 7, due August 3) seeks AV systems integration, maintenance, and support services across citywide facilities on a five-year, not-to-exceed basis with prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon requirements—again, amplifiers are embedded in the broader systems scope, not procured standalone. The Texas A&M University System's RFQ (posted June 23, due June 23) establishes a master services agreement with multiple AV integrators for assignment on an as-needed basis, encompassing design, procurement, and installation across diverse scope types from classrooms to performing arts to SCIFs. The code shows no recent standalone solicitations for remote amplifiers or amplifier-focused components. State and local agencies are not currently pursuing remote amplifiers as discrete commodity buys; they are acquiring full systems or integrator services that subsume amplification into the broader technical scope.
