UNSPSC 45111724: Magnetic head

A part that has the function to change the electric signal to magnetic energy or converts the magnetic energy on the recording medium to electric signal in magnetic sound recording or magnetic video recording and others. Depending on each function, it is divided into the write head, reproducing head and erase head.

UNSPSC 45111724 Magnetic head, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitation record contains no opportunities tagged directly to this code; the single-digit equipment references appearing in the broader audio-visual and classroom technology procurements (classroom projectors, interactive panels, LED walls, tour guide listening devices) are subcomponents of larger systems, not standalone magnetic heads as the code implies.

State and local buyers across school districts, cities, universities, and counties are actively soliciting audio-visual systems, integration services, and broadcast equipment, but none of the recent opportunities—spanning classroom AV upgrades at Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas; RFP2026072, RFB due August 6, 2026), LED video walls at the City of Arlington, Texas (solicitation 260265, RFP due August 20, 2026), comprehensive AV systems integration at the City of Santa Monica (RFP 2026RFP00034, due August 3, 2026), and touring guide systems for the Los Angeles Court (RFQ202535169779, due May 1, 2026)—explicitly name magnetic heads or position them as primary line items. The code appears disconnected from current state and local contracting practice; magnetic head components are embedded within larger audio and recording systems but are not procured as discrete commodities under this code in the available market data. Vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in audio-visual infrastructure should focus upstream on higher-level Commodity or Class codes that capture system-level procurements rather than this component-level classification.
