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 (Commodity) encompasses network video recorders, surveillance system components, and integrated camera platforms that state and local governments deploy for security monitoring across facilities, transit systems, detention centers, and municipal infrastructure. Recent solicitations reveal a mix of standalone camera and recorder procurement alongside comprehensive system replacements integrating video management with access control and intercom platforms. Cities, counties, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts all solicit under this code, with repeat activity from Florida municipalities, regional transit authorities, and county corrections and water systems. The Philadelphia Procurement Department posted a June 2026 micro purchase for audio-video equipment with a $43,000 ceiling; Lauderdale County, Mississippi issued an RFB on May 26, 2026 for a detention facility IP camera system replacement (51 wide-angle, 9 fisheye, 13 dual-lens, and 39 multi-lens cameras with supporting infrastructure) due June 2, 2026; and the Colorado Department of Corrections posted an IFB on March 19, 2026 for Avigilon cameras, accessories, and licenses across six facilities with delivery by June 30, 2026. The geographic spread centers on Florida (Philadelphia, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Leon County), Georgia (Lauderdale County in Mississippi, Atlanta, Griffin-Spalding County), Colorado, and California (San Mateo, San Bernardino).

Representative recent opportunities span multiple issuing-body types and procurement structures. The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority issued an Invitation to Negotiate on March 31, 2026 for a Locomotive Digital Video/Audio Recorder system serving 41 vehicles across Tri-Rail commuter operations, with design review and installation milestones and proposals due May 7, 2026. Valencia College posted an RFP on April 6, 2026 for college-wide classroom and conference room technology services across nine campuses with $1.6 million historical annual spending and proposals due April 30, 2026.

The Charlotte Area Transit System's request for maintenance services (posted February 12, 2026) covers 1,023 cameras across 50 facilities with a three-year term and proposals due March 12, 2026. Activity reflects both capital procurement of discrete equipment and services-oriented contracts bundling installation, integration, training, and ongoing support, with response windows typically two to eight weeks and increasing emphasis on platform consolidation, cybersecurity compliance, and phased implementation across distributed facilities.
