UNSPSC 45121501: Still cameras

UNSPSC 45121501 Still cameras (Commodity) covers security surveillance equipment, trail cameras, and specialty-purpose imaging systems that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, wildlife management, facility monitoring, and emergency response. Recent opportunities show a mix of brand-specific network camera systems (Axis, UniFi) integrated into existing infrastructure, specialized field cameras for remote land monitoring, and single-unit turret systems for aerial platforms. Installation and configuration services are typically excluded from the scope — governments handle integration in-house or contract those separately.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal police and public works departments, school district boards of education, state wildlife agencies, fire departments, and cooperative purchasing intermediaries serving multi-jurisdictional networks. The City of Pembroke Pines Police Department (Florida) posted an IFQ on August 20, 2026 for 36 Axis network cameras and speakers (response due September 2, 2026) with a project cost of $32,000, emphasizing compatibility with existing Axis infrastructure and AI analytics capability. The New London Board of Education (Connecticut) solicited sealed bids for brand-specific UniFi equipment across four school buildings with a May 19, 2026 response deadline and no substitutions permitted. The City of Austin, Texas issued an IFQ on August 4, 2026 for 30 Browning Defender cellular trail cameras with unlimited data service for wildlife and facility monitoring (response due August 11, 2026). The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department procured a helicopter-mounted turret camera system (Wescam MX-10 or approved equivalent) with a five-year service plan under an April 22, 2026 bid deadline. Activity spans Florida, Texas, Connecticut, and Illinois, with opportunities posted across summer 2026 and responses typically required within two to four weeks of posting.
