UNSPSC 45121608: Camera assemblies

UNSPSC 45121608 Camera assemblies (Commodity) encompasses video surveillance and photography equipment that state and local governments procure for traffic monitoring, facility security, and departmental operations. Recent solicitations show three distinct categories of activity: specialized CCTV camera systems with integrated components for transportation infrastructure (pan-tilt-zoom assemblies, mounting hardware, power-over-ethernet injectors, surge protection, and video analytics), brand-specific camera kits and lenses for photography and documentation work, and general-purpose LED and related lighting equipment. The issuing-body mix includes state transportation departments, city procurement offices, school districts, and county authorities. The Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission have posted three separate RFPs for CCTV camera assemblies since April 26, 2026, signaling sustained demand from state highway agencies; the City of Philadelphia and Texas Department of Insurance represent municipal and state agency buyers acquiring photography equipment and surveillance cameras respectively; Parkway School District demonstrates school-district participation, though its posting for LED lighting (solicitation 275, due July 30, 2026) appears tangentially related to the code's core scope.

Geographic activity concentrates in Missouri (three MoDOT RFPs posted in late April 2026 for CCTV assemblies with May 18, 2026 deadlines), Texas (Texas Department of Insurance IFB 454-26-34801-CM for Canon cameras, due August 7, 2026; City of Brownsville traffic signal modernization with a May 21, 2026 bid deadline), and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia micro purchase B2728123 for Canon camera lenses with October 2, 2026 response date, contract value ceiling $45,000). Representative recent opportunities include the Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission RFP (posted May 5, 2026, due May 18, 2026) seeking 30 complete CCTV camera assemblies meeting extensive technical specifications including 1/2.8" CMOS sensors, 30X optical zoom, H.264 encoding, IP66 environmental rating, and operation from -58F to 122F, with sample units required for 30-day on-site testing and multiattribute scoring evaluation; the Texas Department of Insurance IFB for Canon EOS R6 MK III cameras with integrated lenses, Speedlite flash units, memory cards, and protective cases (20 camera kits, 80 battery packs, 80 memory cards) with an anticipated August 11, 2026 award and August 31, 2026 delivery date; and the City of Philadelphia micro purchase for Canon camera lenses under a $45,000 ceiling for the September 25, 2026 through June 30, 2027 term. MoDOT actively encourages MBE and WBE participation through subcontractors or joint ventures and permits cooperative purchasing for Missouri political subdivisions; Texas solicitations reference HUB Subcontracting Plans and BABA compliance for federally funded projects.
