UNSPSC 52161548: Audio turntable

A type of consumer electronic device used to play vinyl recordings.

UNSPSC 52161548 Audio turntable is a Commodity code that does not describe products or services state and local governments are actively procuring. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for turntables; instead, the code appears to have been assigned to classroom AV equipment procurements, LED video walls, audio-visual systems integration, stadium sound systems, and various educational and governmental facility upgrades that bear no relation to the nominal scope.

The mismatch between code and opportunity is striking. A review of twenty-eight recent state and local solicitations tagged to this UNSPSC shows actual buying activity concentrated in classroom and conference room projectors, interactive flat panels, audio reinforcement systems, live streaming and video production services, integrated AV systems integration and maintenance, assistive listening devices, and facility-wide AV infrastructure—none of which are turntables or phonograph-related audio equipment. The issuing bodies span school districts (Northside Independent, Jones County, Cobb County, Hillside County, Cleveland Metropolitan, Fulton County, Walled Lake Consolidated, Harlingen, DeKalb County), cities (Arlington, Santa Monica, Orlando, New Haven, St. Marys), counties (Wake, Gwinnett, Monroe, Volusia), universities (University of Texas at Austin, UT Tyler, Valencia College, UW-Green Bay, Eugene Schools), and regional authorities (Atlanta Regional Commission, New Smyrna Beach Utilities). The geographic spread encompasses Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, California, Oregon, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia, with Texas and Georgia showing the heaviest recent activity. Representative opportunities include Northside Independent School District's indefinite quantity contract for classroom projectors, AV equipment, installation and repair services (RFP2026072, due August 6, 2026); City of Arlington's LED video wall procurement for Council Chambers (Solicitation 260265, due August 20, 2026); City of Santa Monica's citywide AV systems integration and maintenance RFP with prevailing wage requirements (2026RFP00034, due August 3, 2026); and Wake County's Crestron-based AV equipment upgrade for the Justice Center (IFB #26-037, due March 31, 2026). This code shows no relevant recent activity for turntable procurement and should not be used as a filtering or pursuit criterion for audio turntable vendors seeking state and local work.
