Equipment that makes the characters or drawings shown on the television screen.

UNSPSC 45111817 Character generator is a Commodity code covering audio and video display and projection equipment that state and local governments procure for classrooms, conference rooms, courtrooms, performance venues, and operational facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts, cities, counties, and universities buying interactive flat panels, classroom projectors, LED video walls, audio systems, assistive listening equipment, and turnkey AV system design-installation-maintenance packages, often bundled with installation labor, cabling infrastructure, programming, and ongoing support.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Northside ISD San Antonio, Walled Lake Consolidated, Fulton County Schools, Jones County, Cobb County, Cleveland Metropolitan, Hillsborough County, Valencia College), cities (Arlington and Santa Monica), counties (Monroe, Gwinnett, Volusia, Wake, DeKalb), state agencies (Texas A&M System, University of Texas at Austin, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Los Angeles Court, Railroad Commission of Texas), and special districts (New Smyrna Beach Utilities, Atlanta Regional Commission). School districts and higher education institutions are the dominant repeat buyers. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and California, with scattered activity across the rest of the country. Representative recent opportunities include Northside ISD's August 6, 2026 RFP for classroom projector and AV equipment procurement-installation-removal-repair under an indefinite-quantity contract; City of Arlington's August 20, 2026 RFP for LED video walls in Council Chambers and briefing rooms; City of Santa Monica's August 3, 2026 RFP for citywide AV systems integration, maintenance, and support (five-year firm-fixed, prevailing wage, requiring California contractor license C-7 or C-10); and Jones County Schools' May 18, 2026 RFP for 30 ViewSonic interactive flat panels with installation and removal. Valencia College is soliciting college-wide classroom and conference room technology services with $1.6 million average annual spend over five years. Activity reflects strong ongoing demand for classroom modernization, video conferencing and streaming capability, assistive listening and ADA compliance, and professional A/V system integration tied to facility upgrades and bond-funded projects.
