UNSPSC 45111716: Digital audio workstation DAW

Equipment that may edit and reproduce or edit specific part while looking into the graphic screen on the monitor after storing the acoustic input signal into the digital signal on the hard disc.

UNSPSC 45111716 Digital audio workstation DAW, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract activity captured in the code's procurement record. The recent opportunities tagged to this code overwhelmingly involve physical audiovisual equipment—projectors, interactive flat panels, sound reinforcement systems, assistive listening devices, LED video walls, and AV integration services—rather than software-based digital audio workstations or DAW licensing. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code's nominal scope diverges significantly from how state and local procurement offices are actually using it in practice.

The issuing-body mix spans school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Cobb County Schools in Georgia, Walled Lake Consolidated Schools in Michigan, Clarke County Schools in Georgia), cities (Arlington and Santa Monica in Texas and California respectively, Orlando in Florida, College Park in Georgia), counties (Wake County in North Carolina, Gwinnett County in Georgia, Volusia County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida), universities (University of Texas at Austin, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Valencia College), special districts (New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission, Atlanta Regional Commission), and a state regulatory agency (Railroad Commission of Texas). School districts and municipal governments are the dominant repeat buyers, with particularly active procurement from Texas jurisdictions. Geographic concentration includes Texas (San Antonio, Arlington, Austin), Florida (multiple counties and municipalities), Georgia (Atlanta, Clarke County, DeKalb County, Fulton County), Michigan (Walled Lake, Warren), and North Carolina (Wake County), with additional activity in California, Connecticut, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's RFP2026072 for classroom projectors and AV equipment installation and repair services (responses due August 6, 2026); City of Santa Monica's RFP 2026RFP00034 for citywide AV systems integration, maintenance, and support services across conference rooms and event spaces (responses due August 3, 2026); and the Railroad Commission of Texas's IFB #455-26-1030 for live audio-visual broadcasting services covering approximately 20 open meetings, hearings, and town halls annually (proposals due July 15, 2026). The code shows substantial recent activity, but the opportunities reflect hardware procurement, systems integration, installation labor, and on-site support services rather than software licensing or DAW tools.
