UNSPSC 52161540: Video switchers

UNSPSC 52161540 Video switchers (Commodity) represents a narrower category than its abstract name suggests. State and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying comprehensive audiovisual systems and integration services—encompassing design, equipment supply, installation, programming, maintenance, and technical support for conference rooms, courtrooms, stadiums, emergency operations centers, educational facilities, and transit systems. The issuing bodies span school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Pinellas County Schools in Florida), cities and counties (Charlotte, Orlando, Wake County, New Smyrna Beach, St. Marys Georgia, Volusia County), transit authorities (South Florida Regional Transportation Authority), regional commissions (Atlanta Regional Commission), colleges (Valencia College), and special-purpose districts (Georgia World Congress Center, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission). Recent solicitations show school districts and municipalities dominating the activity, with repeat patterns from Florida jurisdictions and Georgia entities.

Recent opportunities reflect the breadth of work actually being bought. Northside ISD posted an RFP on July 14, 2026 (due August 6, 2026) for classroom projectors, AV equipment, procurement, installation, removal, and repair services under an indefinite quantity contract. The City of Orlando issued RFP 260476 (due July 31, 2026) for a turnkey Camping World Stadium main bowl sound system upgrade.
