UNSPSC 52161557: Fixed computer gaming console

Fixed computer consoles that are plugged into the mains and are therefore not portable, generally found plugged in to televisions. These are distinct from smaller handheld portable games consoles.

UNSPSC 52161557 Fixed computer gaming console (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains one administrative relocation notice unrelated to procurement and two coinless arcade gaming system lease solicitations from the University of Wisconsin-Madison that tag the code but represent leasing and installation services rather than fixed console sales. The code appears to capture equipment sales that state and local bodies occasionally need for recreation centers, educational facilities, or entertainment venues, but current activity reflects service-based transactions—lease agreements and installation—rather than equipment procurement.

University of Wisconsin-Madison issued two RFBs for coinless arcade gaming system leasing and installation: RFB 2026-UWMSN-01271 (posted March 27, 2026, with final due date April 21, 2026 after three addenda extensions) for the Sett Recreation area in Union South, and RFB 2026-UWMSN-01343 (posted June 25, 2026, due July 8, 2026). Both solicitations require online submission through the ShopUW+ portal with inquiries directed to Dana Casey at dana.casey@wisc.edu. Wisconsin is the only state represented in recent activity. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope (fixed gaming consoles) and the actual work being bought (lease and installation of arcade systems) suggests the code may be misapplied in these Wisconsin postings or that state and local procurement offices tag related gaming equipment broadly under this commodity without regard to whether the primary service is leasing rather than sale.
