UNSPSC 46171621: Surveillance video or audio recorders

UNSPSC 46171621 Surveillance video or audio recorders, a Commodity code, covers IP cameras, network video recorders, video management systems, and associated hardware that state and local governments install across facilities, public safety sites, and infrastructure to capture and store security video feeds. State and local procurement under this code spans school districts, county facilities, municipalities, airports, transit authorities, and state agencies purchasing complete surveillance systems or components on IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs, often bundled with installation labor and multi-year maintenance contracts.

Activity under the code concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, and Michigan, with a secondary trail across Illinois, Connecticut, and Texas. The Genesee Intermediate School District (Michigan) posted RFP 2026-GISD-SC on July 14, 2026, seeking master price lists for surveillance camera systems and licensing for Avigilon, exacqVision, Digital Watchdog, and Verkada platforms, due July 30, due July 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at GISD Entrance #1, 2413 West Maple Avenue, Flint, Michigan—a cooperative purchasing vehicle where GISD and Genesee County school districts may draw. Sacramento County posted multiple camera installation projects: a $165,000 IP surveillance upgrade at 3750 Bradview Property Warehouse (ITB 41011, sealed bids closed June 4, 2026) and a $130,000 upgrade at 9250 Bond Road for the Sheriff's Office Communications Center in Elk Grove (ITB 41012, sealed bids closed May 28, 2026), both requiring C7 and C10 contractor licenses and prevailing wage compliance. Muscogee County School District (Georgia) posted RFP 27-001 on July 2, 2026, seeking Genetec and AXIS integration services to install approximately 620 cameras across ten elementary schools in Columbus, Georgia, due August 4, 2026, with technical proposals weighted at 550 points and financial proposals at 450 points. Orange County, Florida posted the Fire Stations Security Camera Upgrades Phase 2 project (Y26-709) with an estimated cost of $745,000.00 and a bid deadline of March 12, 2026. Demand remains steady, with school districts and county facilities driving the volume; Catoosa County (Georgia) posted two separate Verkada procurement RFPs within one month (118 cameras for jail, 27 for library), signaling active multi-site deployments. Harris County (Texas) issued an RFI on July 9, 2026 seeking vendor input on AI-powered camera monitoring and analytics, indicating requirements-gathering for a future formal solicitation. Installation and integration services dominate; equipment-only procurements like the New London Board of Education's UniFi camera purchase (RFP 202614CONL, due May 19, 2026) are less common. Pricing remains firm for 12–24 months, performance bonds at 100 percent of contract value are standard for projects over $50,000, and prevailing wage applies across California and most public works in other states.
