UNSPSC 52161542: Plasma screens

UNSPSC 52161542 Plasma screens (Commodity) captures display equipment that state and local governments buy for classroom instruction, conference rooms, municipal council chambers, courtrooms, and event spaces, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being used more broadly to tag audio-visual systems integration, installation, and support services that encompass far more than screens alone. School districts, cities, counties, and universities dominate the recent activity, with repeat buyers including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), the City of Arlington (Texas), and multiple Georgia school systems sourcing everything from interactive flat panels and LED video walls to comprehensive AV system upgrades and turnkey installation contracts.

The issuing bodies span K-12 school districts (Northside ISD, Cobb County Schools, Jones County Schools, Cleveland Metropolitan Schools, Walled Lake Consolidated, Hillsborough County Public Schools), municipal and county governments (Arlington, Santa Monica, Orlando, Volusia County, Wake County, City of New Haven), higher-education institutions (University of Texas at Austin, Valencia College, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, Texas A&M System), special districts (Railroad Commission of Texas, Atlanta Regional Commission, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission), and state agencies (California, District of Columbia). Recent solicitations show school districts and cities most active, with work concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, California, and scattered across the Northeast and upper Midwest. Representative opportunities include Northside ISD's July 2026 RFP for classroom projectors, AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services (due August 6, 2026); the City of Arlington's July 2026 RFP for LED video walls in council chambers and briefing rooms (due August 20, 2026); the City of Santa Monica's July 2026 RFP for comprehensive AV systems integration, maintenance, and support across citywide facilities with prevailing wage requirements and a five-year firm-fixed term (due August 3, 2026); and Cobb County Schools' April 2026 IFB for audiovisual equipment and supplies on an as-needed basis with approximately $350,000 in estimated annual spending. The code shows sustained activity across institutional AV refresh cycles, new facility buildouts, and compliance-driven upgrades (ADA-accessible systems, live-streaming capability for public meetings), with evaluation criteria typically emphasizing experience, references, quality, and cost in roughly equal measure.
