UNSPSC 45121505: Cinematographic cameras

UNSPSC 45121505 Cinematographic cameras, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase of fixed and mobile video capture equipment for security, surveillance, and content production, grounded in recent state and local solicitations that range from school district surveillance systems to police department security camera networks and municipal videography services. State and local buyers under this code include school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan, New London Board of Education in Connecticut), municipal police departments (City of Pembroke Pines Police Department in Florida), city procurement offices (City of Philadelphia), state agencies (State of Rhode Island), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities (Sourcewell on behalf of participating Washington, Minnesota, and regional law enforcement agencies). The work solicited spans equipment-only procurements with strict brand specifications—such as UniFi camera systems for school facilities and Axis surveillance cameras for police departments—as well as videographer services contracting through master price agreements where vendors establish rates for project-based mini-bids issued by state and local user agencies.

Recent activity centers in Michigan, Connecticut, Florida, and Rhode Island, with significant cooperative purchasing reaching across the Pacific Northwest and nationally through Sourcewell. Representative recent opportunities include the Utica Community Schools RFP for junior high school cameras (due September 8, 2026), the City of Pembroke Pines Police Department RFQ for 36 Axis surveillance cameras and network speakers totaling $32,000 (due September 2, 2026), the New London Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for UniFi camera equipment across four school sites (due May 19, 2026), and the State of Rhode Island's open-enrollment Master Price Agreement 213 for videographer services (due September 14, 2026, establishing rates for statewide mini-bid deployment through January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028). Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) represents a cooperative procurement model targeting thousands of governmental agencies nationwide, substantially expanding the addressable market for vendors winning cooperative pricing.
