UNSPSC 52161552: Light receiver

An electronic device that converts a light signal from a transmitter into useful information.

UNSPSC 52161552 Light receiver is a Commodity code covering the class of optical and audio receiving devices state and local governments procure for AV systems, classrooms, courtrooms, and performance venues. The code encompasses receiver units, listening devices, and related components that capture or display audio-visual signals in integrated AV installations. Recent solicitations show school districts, colleges, county courts, and municipal governments acquiring light receivers as components within broader AV system procurements rather than as standalone items—classroom projectors with integrated receivers, assistive listening systems in courtrooms, interactive flat panels with integrated receivers, audio-visual integrator services that bundle receiver hardware with installation, and tour guide listening devices for public facilities.

The issuing bodies span K-12 school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Cobb County Schools in Georgia, Jones County School System in Georgia, Walled Lake Consolidated Schools in Michigan, Harlingen CISD in Texas, Hillsborough County Schools in Florida, Cleveland Metropolitan Schools in Ohio), state universities and university systems (University of Texas at Austin, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Valencia College, Texas A&M System), county and municipal governments (Gwinnett County, Wake County North Carolina, City of Arlington Texas, City of Santa Monica, City of St. Marys Georgia, Volusia County Florida, Monroe County Florida), transit and special authorities (Atlanta Regional Commission, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission), and state and federal courts (Los Angeles Court, Railroad Commission of Texas). School districts dominate the recent activity, with several issuances from the same jurisdictions—Northside ISD posted three separate solicitations in July 2026 alone covering classroom projectors, ViewSonic projector cooperative quotes, and a consolidated AV procurement. Cobb County Schools issued two parallel solicitations for audiovisual equipment and supplies in April 2026 using both IFB and RFP structures.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and California, with secondary activity across North Carolina, Oregon, Connecticut, Colorado, and Washington. The code shows strong activity from June through July 2026, with the most recent high-volume posting window between mid-June and mid-July. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District (RFP2026072) seeking classroom projectors, AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services on an indefinite-quantity basis with responses due August 6, 2026; City of Arlington Texas (Solicitation 260265) requesting LED video walls for council chambers and briefing rooms with proposals due August 20, 2026; City of Santa Monica (RFP 2026RFP00034) seeking five-year citywide audio-visual systems integration, maintenance, and support services across municipal facilities with prevailing wage and Living Wage Ordinance compliance required and proposals due August 3, 2026; DeKalb County School District Georgia (RFP 26-728) requesting live audio, video, and staging services for high school commencement exercises with proposals due February 26, 2026; and Cobb County Schools Georgia (IFB B26103) seeking audiovisual equipment and supplies on an as-needed basis with an estimated annual expenditure of $350,000 and responses due May 13, 2026. Light receiver procurement activity shows no signs of decline; the code remains active for state and local buyers pursuing equipment modernization, facility renovation, and expanded AV capability.
