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 sits at the bottom of a product taxonomy for audio and visual infrastructure components. State and local governments acquire audio distribution amplifiers as components within larger AV system deployments—integrated into classroom and conference room technology, stadium sound systems, courtroom assisted listening systems, emergency operations centers, performance venues, and broadcasting and live-event infrastructure. The code reflects a specific hardware item rather than end-to-end AV services; recent opportunities show amplifiers purchased as line items within broader system integration and installation contracts rather than as standalone procurements.

Issuing bodies pursuing this code span school districts (Northside ISD in Texas, Cobb County Schools in Georgia, Hillsborough County Schools in Florida, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Jones County Schools in Georgia, and Cleveland Metropolitan School District in Ohio), cities and counties (City of Arlington, City of Santa Monica, City of Orlando, Volusia County, Wake County North Carolina, City of St. Marys Georgia), universities (University of Texas at Austin, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, Valencia College, University of Texas at Tyler), transit and special-purpose authorities (New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission, Atlanta Regional Commission), and state entities (Railroad Commission of Texas, Los Angeles Court, California State). School districts represent the largest issuing-body segment by frequency of recent activity. Geographic concentration is strongest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity across California, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Northside ISD's July 2026 RFP for classroom projectors and AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services (response deadline August 6, 2026); City of Arlington's July 2026 RFP for LED video walls to replace aging monitors in Council Chambers and Briefing Room (response deadline August 20, 2026); City of Santa Monica's July 2026 RFP for comprehensive citywide audio-visual systems integration, maintenance, and support services with prevailing wage requirements and a five-year firm-fixed contract term (response deadline August 3, 2026); and University of Texas at Austin's April 2026 RFP for Bass Concert Hall audio renovation including sound reinforcement, wireless microphone systems, and acoustic improvements (response deadline May 15, 2026). The code shows sustained activity across K–12 and higher-education procurement cycles, with heavy emphasis on classroom technology refresh, venue upgrades, and integrated control systems that embed amplification as a component rather than as a discrete procurement focus.
