UNSPSC 52161550: Personal video recorder PVR

One of several types of devices that record video in a digital format to a disk drive or other medium.

UNSPSC 52161550 Personal video recorder PVR, a Commodity code, encompasses state and local purchases of video surveillance equipment and recording systems across detention facilities, transit operations, municipal infrastructure, educational institutions, and utility providers. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring integrated video management solutions, IP-based camera systems with networked recording capabilities, and hardware-software bundles for security and monitoring purposes, often bundled with installation, integration, and training services rather than procured as discrete components.

State and local issuing bodies include county governments (Lauderdale County, Mississippi; San Mateo County, California), municipal procurement departments (Philadelphia, Fort Myers, Charlotte), transportation authorities (Broward County Transportation Department, South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Charlotte Area Transit System), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Griffin-Spalding County School System), special-purpose districts (Macon Water Authority, Atlanta BeltLine), and healthcare organizations (Inland Empire Health Plan). Recent activity spans multiple geographies with documented solicitations in Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Minnesota through a statewide cooperative (Sourcewell). Philadelphia, San Mateo County, and Florida municipalities appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent notices. Solicitations run across all notice types: IFBs dominate equipment procurement (Lauderdale County's detention facility camera system replacement, Macon Water Authority's push camera, Colorado Department of Corrections' Avigilon camera suite), while RFPs address integrated platform selection (Griffin-Spalding County's unified school safety platform, Valencia College's classroom technology services), and RFQs handle maintenance and support contracts (Charlotte Area Transit System camera and access control maintenance). Representative recent opportunities include Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors issuing RFB LC011-2026 for a detention facility IP-based video surveillance system replacement with 51 wide-angle vandal-proof cameras, 9 fisheye cameras, 13 dual-lens hallway cameras, 39 multi-lens 180-degree cameras, 6 Micro PCs, 6 65-inch 4K UHD televisions, and comprehensive VMS configuration with 90-day data retention, due June 2, 2026; Colorado Department of Corrections issuing IFB 26-0156 for Avigilon cameras, accessories, and licenses across six correctional facilities requiring 64 units of 2.0MP H6SL indoor IR dome cameras, 123 units of 2.0MP H6SL outdoor IR dome cameras, and assorted PTZ and fisheye units, due April 1, 2026; and Griffin-Spalding County School System issuing an RFP for a unified platform consolidating 1,475 existing cameras, 33 intercom systems (21 replacements plus 12 new), 110 doors with access control, and license plate recognition, with proposals due March 27, 2026.
