UNSPSC 45111815: Audio video console

A type of device that edits screen quality or voice and monitors or listens to the voice or video from a broadcasting station and others.

UNSPSC 45111815 Audio video console (Commodity) captures state and local government procurement of audio-visual equipment, systems integration, installation, and support services—grounded in recent solicitations that span classroom projectors and interactive panels, council chamber and courtroom AV systems, performing arts venue audio renovations, emergency operations center infrastructure, and district-wide technology refresh initiatives. The code sees activity across school districts, cities, counties, universities, and special-purpose authorities, with Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio appearing as a repeat buyer issuing both an indefinite-quantity contract for classroom projector procurement, installation, removal, and repair services (RFP2026072, due August 6, 2026) and a cooperative quote for ViewSonic projectors (COOPQUOTE2026104, due June 29, 2026). Beyond school districts, issuing bodies include municipal governments—the City of Arlington, Texas (LED video walls for Council Chambers, RFP 260265, due August 20, 2026) and the City of Santa Monica (citywide AV systems integration and maintenance, RFP 2026RFP00034, due August 3, 2026)—and cultural and civic venues such as the City of Orlando (Camping World Stadium sound system upgrade, RFP RFP260476, due July 31, 2026) and the University of Texas at Austin (Bass Concert Hall audio renovation, RFP 721-26074, due May 15, 2026). County and regional authorities also solicited under this code, including Gwinnett County (courtroom assistive listening system upgrade, IWQ 131100, due June 12, 2026) and the Atlanta Regional Commission (audio-visual production for State of the Region event, RFP673, due June 17, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California, with secondary volume in Michigan, Utah, and North Carolina. The work being solicited ranges from discrete equipment purchases (projectors, interactive flat panels, LED walls, wireless listening devices) to fully integrated turnkey systems with design, installation, programming, maintenance, and multi-year support. Many solicitations emphasize prevailing wage compliance, comprehensive insurance (Commercial General Liability typically $1–2 million per occurrence), E-Verify participation, and integration with existing control systems (Crestron, Extron). Contract structures vary widely: school districts and municipalities commonly use indefinite-quantity contracts (NISD), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Northside's ViewSonic quote via fourteen named cooperatives), and three- to five-year master service agreements with optional renewals (Santa Monica's five-year AV systems contract, Valencia College's three-year classroom technology services agreement with up to two additional one-year renewals). Evaluation criteria typically allocate significant weight to qualifications and experience (15–35 points), technical approach and scope understanding (20–35 points), and cost (15–35 points); many RFPs require three to five relevant references and demonstration of experience with comparable facility types or institutional sizes. Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and Q&A cycles are standard; many venues in the education and civic sectors mandate attendance. Geographic spread and issuing-body diversity signal sustained demand for AV integration across educational, municipal, and event-based use cases, with particular momentum in school district technology refresh cycles tied to bond initiatives and budget cycles.
