UNSPSC 45121501: Still cameras

UNSPSC 45121501 Still cameras (Commodity) encompasses mounted and networked camera systems that state and local governments procure to replace aging surveillance infrastructure, outfit specialized operational assets such as helicopters, and support fire investigations and facility security across multiple jurisdiction types. Recent solicitations show mixed deployment: specialized high-performance turret systems mounted on aircraft for wildlife operations, brand-specific networked cameras for school facility security, general-purpose network camera systems for municipal facility upgrades, and specialized imaging for emergency response. State and local buyers include state natural-resource agencies, city technology and fire departments, school districts, and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has posted two iterations of an IFB (Solicitations 8022672212R and 8022672212) for a helicopter-mounted Wescam MX-10 Series Gen 4 turret camera system with five-year service plan and training, with response dates of April 22, 2026 and March 10, 2026 respectively, requiring 100 percent compatibility with existing infrastructure on helicopter N350PW. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro purchase RFQ (B2627198) due May 26, 2026 for cameras for fire scene investigations with a maximum contract value of $43,000. The New London Board of Education (Connecticut) posted an RFP for UniFi-branded camera equipment exclusively across four schools, due May 19, 2026, with strict brand specifications and authorized-distributor requirements. The City of Pembroke Pines (Florida) solicited Axis network cameras in February 2026 to replace end-of-life systems across municipal facilities.
