UNSPSC 46171641: Dummy security camera

A non-functional surveillance device designed to fool intruders. It is placed intentionally in a noticeable place, so passing people notice it and believe the area to be monitored.

UNSPSC 46171641 Dummy security camera is a Commodity code that represents stand-alone IP and analog surveillance camera equipment and components being procured across multiple state and local jurisdictions for facility security, public safety, and access control integration. State and local governments under this code are acquiring turnkey camera systems for schools, counties, municipalities, airports, correctional facilities, and transit authorities—typically as part of broader security infrastructure upgrades or replacements rather than as isolated components. The scope extends to camera hardware (2MP to 4K resolution, both fixed and PTZ models), associated network and storage equipment (NVRs, DVRs, switches, cabling), mounting hardware, and ancillary accessories such as power supplies and connectors, often bundled with installation labor and multi-year software licensing or support agreements. Issuing bodies span school districts (Genesee Intermediate School District in Michigan, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Liberty County and Bartow County School Systems in Georgia), county governments (Sacramento County, Catoosa County, and Hillsborough County in Florida; Harris County in Texas; Cobb County in Georgia; Seminole County in Florida), cities (Fort Worth and Fort Myers in Texas; Detroit in Michigan; Green Bay in Wisconsin; Charlotte in North Carolina; Brunswick and Augusta in Georgia; San Mateo County in California), state agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Public Safety, Illinois State Police, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and airport authorities (St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport in Florida; Sacramento County's Sheriff Communications Center). Recent activity shows school districts and county governments as repeat buyers—Catoosa County and Sacramento County each issued multiple camera procurements in the past three months, and county water resources and facility management departments appear as frequent purchasers.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in California (Sacramento County, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Broward County facilities), Georgia (multiple school systems and county jurisdictions), Florida (Hillsborough, Seminole, Pinellas, Broward, Orange County), Texas (Harris County, Fort Worth, San Marcos, Fort Myers), and Michigan (Genesee Intermediate School District, Walled Lake Consolidated School District). Representative recent opportunities include Genesee Intermediate School District's master price list RFP for surveillance cameras due July 30, 2026 (RFP 2026-GISD-SC), which seeks pricing on 2MP and 5MP cameras compatible with Avigilon, exacqVision, Digital Watchdog, and Verkada platforms with hourly installation labor rates; Muscogee County School District's RFP for approximately 620 IP cameras across ten elementary schools due August 4, 2026 (PE55220NONST2027000000033), requiring Genetec Security Center integration with AXIS cameras as the basis of design; Sacramento County's IP surveillance upgrades at 3750 Bradview and 9250 Bond Road properties due June 4 and May 28, 2026 respectively (ITB 41011 and 41012), each specifying Panasonic i-PRO cameras with NVRs and RAID storage; Catoosa County's 118-camera Verkada installation at the Sheriff's Office and Jail due July 23, 2026 (PE77598NONST2026000000031); and Colquitt County Prison's turnkey CCTV system replacement due July 28, 2026 (PE77891NONST2026000000090), requiring NDAA compliance and excluding components from Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, and Dahua. Harris County, Texas issued an RFI on July 9, 2026 for AI-powered camera monitoring and analytics solutions (07092026JW), indicating early-stage requirements definition for advanced video analytics platforms. Most recent opportunities show response windows of two to four weeks and span notice types including RFP, RFQ, ITB, and RFI, with prevailing wage requirements common in California public works projects and criminal background checks mandated for school and correctional facility access.
