UNSPSC 46170000: Security surveillance and detection

UNSPSC 46170000 Security surveillance and detection, a Family code, encompasses IP and analog camera systems, video management platforms, access control integration, and associated installation and maintenance services that state and local governments procure for facilities ranging from schools and correctional institutions to municipal offices, transit hubs, and utility infrastructure. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, cities, and specialized authorities purchasing complete turnkey systems with hardware, software licensing, installation, and training as integrated deliverables. The Genesee Intermediate School District in Michigan (RFP issued July 14, 2026) sought a master price list for cameras compatible with multiple VMS platforms (Avigilon, exacqVision, Digital Watchdog, Verkada) with volume pricing and optional labor rates; Muscogee County Schools in Georgia (RFP issued July 2, 2026) required Genetec and AXIS equipment from certified installers across ten elementary schools totaling approximately 620 cameras; and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (RFP issued July 1, 2026) solicited Phase 2 security upgrades including camera replacement and access control hardware with integration into existing Genetec and Lenel systems. School districts, county sheriff offices, jail facilities, and transit authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, with Sacramento County appearing repeatedly for facility-specific projects and Georgia counties (Catoosa, Colquitt, Cobb) issuing multiple solicitations for jail and library camera systems.

Activity concentrates heavily in California, Georgia, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Florida, with additional recent opportunities in Pennsylvania, Texas, Connecticut, Illinois, and Idaho. Representative recent procurements include Sacramento County's IP surveillance upgrades at two facilities (ITB issued June 30 and July 8, 2026; estimated costs of $130,000 to $165,000 each requiring prevailing wage compliance and i-PRO certified vendors); Catoosa County Sheriff's Office jail camera system with 118 Verkada cameras (RFP issued June 23, 2026; due July 23, 2026); Colquitt County Prison IP camera replacement (RFP issued June 25, 2026; due July 28, 2026) with NDAA Section 889 compliance and smart-search analytics; and Centre County Recycling & Refuse Authority multi-site thermal and PTZ camera deployment across four facilities (RFP issued June 26, 2026; due July 24, 2026) with 30-day minimum footage retention. Vendors face consistent demands for NDAA compliance, prevailing wage registration in public works contexts, manufacturer certifications (Genetec, Axis, Avigilon, Verkada, exacqVision, Digital Watchdog), performance bonds at 100 percent of contract value, general liability insurance at $1 million to $2 million, and completion timelines ranging from 60 to 150 working days. The code shows sustained activity with no evidence of slowdown.
