UNSPSC 52161513: Combination television VHS and DVD recorder

Television unit that includes VHS video cassette recorder and DVD recorder

UNSPSC 52161513 Combination television VHS and DVD recorder is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers hybrid television-recording devices, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span unrelated product categories including non-smart televisions, law enforcement equipment, technology equipment discounts, and camera maintenance services. Of the four most recent postings, only two Ohio solicitations (Solicitation 7071 and 6967, both titled "NON SMART TV" with posting dates of June 1, 2026 and April 13, 2026 respectively) bear any connection to the code's core scope, and both carried one-day response windows with minimal detail disclosed. The law enforcement equipment RFP issued by Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and participating Washington counties, and the Manatee County Schools technology equipment catalog discount procurement, do not align with television or recording device procurement. The disparity between the code's intended commodity scope and the actual solicitation content suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this particular code has been largely superseded by television and recording equipment purchases classified elsewhere in the UNSPSC hierarchy.

Activity is concentrated in Ohio, which posted both non-smart television solicitations in rapid succession during spring 2026, though the compressed timelines and sparse documentation limit visibility into the actual scope and purchasing intent. No repeat buyers, standing cooperative purchasing agreements, or geographic clustering beyond the Ohio postings appear in recent records. Vendors should monitor whether this code continues to receive activity or whether state and local buyers have migrated procurement of television and recording equipment to other UNSPSC categories; the current signal is that the code represents a minimal pursuit opportunity.
