UNSPSC 45121500: Cameras

UNSPSC 45121500 Cameras (Class) encompasses network surveillance systems, body-worn cameras, traffic monitoring equipment, and specialized imaging hardware that state and local governments deploy for law enforcement, transportation, facility security, and public safety operations. Recent solicitations show counties and state departments buying specific camera models—Canon VB-H47 network cameras for sheriff operations, Axon Body 4 systems for law enforcement evidence capture, UniFi equipment for school facilities, and integrated CCTV assemblies for traffic monitoring—often bundled with installation, maintenance, training, or integration services. The issuing-body mix spans county sheriff departments (Orange County, California), state transportation agencies (Missouri Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, Texas Parks and Wildlife), state law enforcement (California Department of Justice), municipal technology services (City of Pembroke Pines, New London Board of Education), and state conservation departments (Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation). Orange County, California appears as a repeat buyer across multiple solicitations for cameras, installation services, and maintenance support.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County, Los Angeles County, Sacramento), Missouri (MoDOT St. Louis District across multiple CCTV assembly RFPs), Texas, and Florida, with additional recent procurement in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maryland. Representative opportunities include the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner's IFB for 15 Canon VB-H47 network cameras (due July 22, 2026) with local small business and DVBE set-asides; Missouri Department of Transportation's RFPs for approximately 30 CCTV camera assemblies with pan-tilt-zoom, video analytics, and 30-day on-site testing requirements (multiple RFPs due May 18, 2026); the California Department of Justice's RFQ for 27 Axon Body 4 body-worn systems with extended warranty and professional services (due March 6, 2026); the New London Board of Education's sealed-bid solicitation for brand-specific UniFi camera equipment across four schools (due May 19, 2026); and Caltrans' small-business IFB for CCTV installation on State Route 142 in Orange County (due April 14, 2026, with estimated project cost of $286,200). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment benefiting participating entities across Washington and other states, and Missouri's cooperative purchasing for counties and cities on CCTV systems. Set-asides and preferences include Orange County's 5% OCLSB/DVBE price deduction, California's small-business contract restrictions, Texas HUB and veteran-owned business preferences, and Massachusetts SBPP small-business award preference.
