UNSPSC 52161526: Satellite receivers

UNSPSC 52161526 Satellite receivers (Commodity) encompasses broadcast and content-delivery infrastructure that state and local governments procure to support cable television automation, live government meeting streaming, video-on-demand publishing, and integrated distribution across OTT, web, and mobile platforms. Recent solicitations show the code captures enterprise-grade broadcast systems combining server hardware, channel automation software, scheduling and playout management, integrated character generation, and cloud content delivery—equipment and integrated software suites designed for continuous 24/7 government and public-access television operation rather than standalone receiving equipment alone. Issuing bodies include county governments operating public television and government-access cable services; the recent solicitation activity reflects county-level procurement of fully integrated platforms that support simultaneous multi-channel broadcast automation, live streaming of public meetings, and emergency services integration.

Recent state and local activity appears limited. Hillsborough County posted a sole-source RFP (Solicitation SS2600299) on June 12, 2026, for the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI System and Services, with proposals due June 22, 2026—the primary recent opportunity indexed under this code. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026, with a June 16 response deadline, does not represent relevant activity under this code; it addresses law enforcement gear and is unrelated to satellite receivers or broadcast infrastructure. The Hillsborough County solicitation shows geographic activity in Florida; no contract value, term, or evaluation criteria were disclosed in the procurement documents.
