UNSPSC 45121516: Digital camcorders or video cameras

UNSPSC 45121516 Digital camcorders or video cameras is a Commodity code covering the acquisition of video capture equipment and related services by state and local governments, though recent solicitations show procurement activity spread across surveillance systems, live event production, pipeline inspection cameras, and A/V infrastructure upgrades rather than standalone camcorders. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city procurement departments, county governments, colleges, water authorities, and transit agencies. The work being bought ranges from complete security camera system replacement (fixed and panoramic IP cameras with network video recorders and data storage) to multi-camera live-switched video production and streaming for events, to specialized inspection equipment such as push camera systems for pipeline assessment, to audio-video system upgrades for municipal chambers, and to network surveillance camera procurement for facility security. Buyers typically require vendor experience with similar installations, proof of insurance (commonly $1 million general liability minimum), compliance with state procurement and public records law, and delivery within specified timeframes.

Recent solicitation activity spans Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Washington. The City of DeBary, Florida issued RFP 09-20 for comprehensive security surveillance system replacement requiring 4K cameras, network video recorders, and 90-day response timelines; the City of Holly Hill, Florida sought sealed proposals for Commission Chambers audio and video system upgrades with February 11, 2026 deadline; Valencia College in Orlando issued a Request for Quote for live video production and streaming services for four commencement ceremonies, ultimately awarding to Omni World Productions; the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida requested quotes for AXIS network surveillance cameras (estimated $90,000) under a quick-quote process with September 9, 2026 deadline; the Board of Supervisors of Lauderdale County, Mississippi solicited bids for detention facility camera system replacement including 51 varifocal IP cameras, fisheye units, and multi-lens hallway cameras; and Macon Water Authority in Georgia issued an invitation to bid for a push camera system. The State of Rhode Island established a Master Price Agreement for videographer services with September 14, 2026 proposal deadline supporting multi-award statewide deployment across state and municipal entities. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia, Mississippi, and broader multi-state cooperative purchasing frameworks.
