UNSPSC 46171651: Illegal camera detectors

A mechanical device used to determine whether or not an illegal camera is installed

UNSPSC 46171651 Illegal camera detectors, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities instead document comprehensive surveillance camera system design, installation, maintenance, and integration — from IP-based network cameras and video management software to access control platforms, Network Video Recorders, and turnkey security infrastructure across schools, municipalities, counties, and special-purpose districts. The code's nominal scope (detection devices to identify concealed or covert surveillance) appears orthogonal to the overwhelming majority of posted solicitations, which seek to deploy, upgrade, or maintain visible surveillance and monitoring systems rather than detect them. A single relevant recent opportunity exists: the Illinois State Police's May 2026 procurement for covert video surveillance concealment cameras (low-light pan-tilt-zoom IP units in weather-resistant enclosures with 5G modem integration), which aligns with the code's framing but represents an outlier among dozens of standard camera and video management solicitations. The source material provides no evidence of state or local governments actively seeking "illegal camera detector" products at the Commodity level.

School districts, county governments, and municipal agencies dominate the recent opportunity set, with repeat procurement across Genesee Intermediate School District (Michigan), Sacramento County (California), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Catoosa County (Georgia), Santa Clara County (California), Seminole County (Florida), and others. The geographic spread spans Michigan, California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Genesee Intermediate School District's July 2026 RFP for master-priced surveillance camera systems and licensing across multiple manufacturers (Avigilon, exacqVision, Digital Watchdog, Verkada) due July 30, 2026; Harris County, Texas RFI for AI-powered camera monitoring and analytics solutions (due July 24, 2026); Sacramento County's sealed-bid IFB for IP surveillance upgrades at 3750 Bradview Property Warehouse due June 4, 2026; and Muscogee County School District's August 2026 RFP for approximately 620 AXIS cameras and Genetec integration across ten elementary schools. The code shows robust activity in security system procurement but minimal or no market alignment with its nominal Commodity definition.
