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 procurement of optical and electronic light-sensing components and assemblies that state and local governments integrate into broader audio-visual, security, and facility-control systems. Recent state and local solicitations reveal that governments rarely procure light receivers as standalone line items; instead, they acquire them as embedded components within integrated AV systems, security installations, and smart building infrastructure, where light receivers serve functions including infrared signal reception for remote controls, light-level sensing for automated display and lighting systems, and optical data transmission in professional AV networks.

The bulk of recent activity appears in cities, counties, school districts, and higher education institutions across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Michigan, and Colorado, with a dispersed pattern rather than geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Holly Hill, Florida's RFP 26PW01 for Commission Chambers Audio/Video System Upgrade (due February 11, 2026), which specified Huddly intelligent camera systems and wireless microphone infrastructure—systems that incorporate light-receiver technology for proximity sensing and auto-tracking; the City of Dahlonega, Georgia's RFP PE69315NONST2026000000013 for City Hall Council Chambers A/V System Upgrades (due October 23, 2026), which involved video conferencing and recording systems requiring infrared receivers; and Gwinnett County, Georgia's RFP PE77023NONST2027000000704 for Environmental & Heritage Center Sensory Treehouse Audiovisual Production (due September 24, 2026), which specified multi-projector immersive display systems with integrated light-sensing controls. The source contains no opportunities targeting light receivers as direct procurement line items; all recent activity centers on end-to-end AV and security system integration, where light-receiver components are specified as part of larger equipment ecosystems rather than purchased discretely. This code shows little relevant standalone market activity for business development purposes.
