UNSPSC 52161545: Digital video recorders

This type of device uses a hard drive (like the one in the computer) to record and store television content.

UNSPSC 52161545 Digital video recorders is a Commodity code that encompasses network video recorders (NVRs), surveillance system recording hardware, and related recording infrastructure that state and local governments procure to support security surveillance, law enforcement, detention, and operational monitoring across municipal facilities. Recent solicitations show municipalities purchasing NVR equipment as part of comprehensive system upgrades—integrating cameras, storage, and remote access—alongside standalone recorder purchases for camera replacement programs. The buying pattern spans city halls, police departments, detention facilities, transit systems, water utilities, and specialized facilities like college venues and courthouses. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (DeBary, Pembroke Pines, Holly Hill, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Albuquerque), county governments (Lauderdale County, San Mateo), state agencies (Florida Division of Administrative Hearings), and special-purpose authorities (Macon Water Authority, Valencia College, Broward County Transportation Department). Solicitation types range from full RFPs for system replacement with integration and installation to RFQs and IFBs for equipment-only purchases, with response deadlines typically 2–6 weeks from posting.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida (DeBary, Pembroke Pines, Holly Hill, Albuquerque, Division of Administrative Hearings, Broward County, Philadelphia), with secondary activity in Georgia (Macon), Mississippi (Lauderdale County), Minnesota/Washington cooperative procurement (Sourcewell), and California (San Mateo). Representative opportunities include the City of DeBary RFP 09-20 for a 32-channel 4K NVR surveillance system upgrade at city hall (response deadline July 24, 2020; awarded Lane Technology Solutions at $31,499.00); the City of Pembroke Pines Quick Quote TS-26-QQ-09 for AXIS network cameras requiring Milestone XProtect integration, estimated $90,000 (due September 9, 2026); Lauderdale County's sealed-bid detention facility camera system replacement including IP-based VMS with 90-day data retention (due June 2, 2026); and Valencia College's RFQ 2026-03 for live video production and streaming services incorporating recording and post-production delivery (awarded Omni World Productions, September 16, 2025). The Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) represents a cooperative purchasing vehicle aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types. Pricing ranges from $16,500 to $90,000 for equipment-focused procurements, with full-service surveillance system upgrades reaching the $30,000–$40,000 range. Set-asides and diversity preferences are not standard across these solicitations; Florida requirements (E-Verify, public records compliance, drug-free workplace) and liability insurance minimums ($500,000–$1 million) are uniform.
