UNSPSC 45121522 Infrared camera (Commodity) encompasses security and surveillance cameras—both fixed and mobile thermal imaging and visual-capture systems—that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, facility security, emergency management, and wildlife management. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies buying specific branded camera models (Axis, UniFi, Browning Defender) alongside mounting hardware, speakers, solar chargers, cellular data service, and turret systems, all integrated with existing video management infrastructure. The mix of recent buyers reflects the breadth of state and local agencies: municipal police and fire departments (City of Pembroke Pines Police, City of Philadelphia Fire), boards of education (New London Board of Education), state environmental and wildlife agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), state procurement offices (State of Illinois), cities (City of Austin Water Division), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional buyers (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and others). Police departments and school districts appear as repeat issuing bodies, with a strong emphasis on camera systems that support existing vendor ecosystems and AI analytics capability.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Illinois, and Washington state, with solicitations posted between May and August 2026. The City of Pembroke Pines Police Department issued RFQ PD26QQ02 (due September 2, 2026) for 16 to 22 Axis cameras and network speakers totaling $32,000 with 10-day delivery, requiring general liability insurance of $2,000,000 aggregate and cyber liability coverage of $1,000,000.
