UNSPSC 45111713: Audio distribution amplifier

A type of device that distributes the signal to the several types of equipment input terminal by amplifying and separating one audio input signal for several signals.

UNSPSC 45111713 Audio distribution amplifier is a Commodity code that encompasses integrated audio-visual system components—including amplifiers, audio processors, microphones, speakers, cameras, control systems, and related installation services—that state and local governments procure to upgrade meeting spaces, courtrooms, stadiums, and educational facilities. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose entities seeking turnkey AV system replacements and upgrades rather than amplifiers as discrete products; the code's activity reflects comprehensive system-integration procurement where amplifiers are bundled components of larger infrastructure projects rather than standalone purchases.

Issuing bodies active under this code span municipalities (Holly Hill and Arlington, Texas; Santa Monica, California; Orlando, Florida; Dahlonega and Tybee Island, Georgia; College Park, Georgia), counties (Volusia, Collin, Wake, Gwinnett, and Harris, Texas; Hillsborough, Florida; Glynn, Georgia; Marion, Florida), school districts (Fort Bend Independent School District, Texas; Clarkston Community Schools, Michigan; Northside Independent School District, Texas; City Colleges of Chicago; Fulton County Schools, Georgia), higher education (Auraria Higher Education Center, Colorado; University of Wisconsin-Green Bay; Texas A&M University System), and special-purpose districts (Georgia World Congress Center Authority; Central Health, Travis County, Texas; Railroad Commission of Texas). Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Colorado, Michigan, California, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Holly Hill's Commission Chambers Audio/Video System Upgrade (RFP, sealed proposals due February 11, 2026), Volusia County's Emergency Operations Center A/V IT Renovations (RFP 26-P-33JRD, proposals due January 29, 2026), the City of Dahlonega's City Hall Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades (RFP PE69315NONST2026000000013, proposals due October 23, 2026), and City Colleges of Chicago's audio-visual equipment and services for multimedia classrooms (RFP NC2621, proposals due September 8, 2026). Fort Bend Independent School District issued RFP27011RA for athletics audio-visual equipment with response due November 16, 2026, and the Texas Procurement and Support Services (TIPS) cooperative established a prospective-use framework vehicle for AV equipment and services (Solicitation 260901, proposals due October 16, 2026) available to authorized Texas entities. Most solicitations emphasize design, installation, integration, programming, training, and warranty as core deliverables; several include cooperative purchasing vehicles or indefinite quantity contracts to support district-wide deployments. VBE and HUB preferences appear in select Florida and Texas procurements; prevailing wage requirements apply in California and Chicago. This code shows steady activity with moderate contract values typically ranging from $50,000 to $500,000+ for comprehensive facility upgrades, making it viable for integrators, equipment distributors, and installation firms with design and system integration capability.
