UNSPSC 52161532: Karaoke systems

UNSPSC 52161532 Karaoke systems is a Commodity code, and recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears little relationship to the nominal definition. Instead, jurisdictions are using the code tag to solicit integrated audiovisual systems, equipment, and services—classroom projectors, digital displays, conference room AV suites, audio reinforcement, live streaming infrastructure, and turnkey AV integration across facilities ranging from K–12 schools to universities, county facilities, and performing arts venues. The code appears to function as a catch-all tag for complex AV procurements when a more precise code is unavailable or when legacy procurement databases reuse broad classifications. Issuing bodies span school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio; Fulton County Schools in Georgia; Cobb County Schools in Georgia; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa; Valencia College in Florida), counties (Wake County, North Carolina; Gwinnett County, Georgia; Monroe County, Florida; Volusia County, Florida), cities (Arlington, Texas; Santa Monica, California; Orlando, Florida; St. Marys, Georgia; New Haven, Connecticut), universities (University of Texas at Austin; University of Wisconsin–Green Bay; Texas A&M System), and state agencies (Railroad Commission of Texas; Los Angeles Court; District of Columbia). School districts appear as repeat buyers, particularly in Texas and Georgia, where systems integration and facility upgrades drive sustained demand.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary presence in California, North Carolina, Michigan, Oregon, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Northside ISD's July 2026 RFP for classroom projectors and AV equipment with installation and repair services (due August 6, 2026); City of Arlington's July 2026 RFP for LED video walls in council chambers and briefing room (due August 20, 2026); City of Santa Monica's July 2026 RFP for citywide audiovisual systems integration, maintenance, and support across conference rooms and event spaces with prevailing wage and five-year contract term (due August 3, 2026); the Railroad Commission of Texas's June 2026 IFB for live webcast and archived video delivery covering approximately 20 annual commission meetings and hearings (due July 15, 2026); and Cobb County Schools' April 2026 IFB for audiovisual equipment and supplies with approximately $350,000 estimated annual expenditure available to multiple vendors on an as-needed basis (due May 13, 2026). Evaluation typically weights technical qualifications and experience, cost, references, and service capacity; prevailing wage and immigrant verification compliance appear in higher-value urban and state procurements. The code shows active, recurring demand for both capital equipment procurement and managed service contracts, with contract terms ranging from one to five years and opportunities for both individual equipment sales and comprehensive system design-build-operate engagements.
