UNSPSC 52161600: Audio visual equipment accessories

UNSPSC 52161600 Audio visual equipment accessories, a Class code, encompasses the supply of AV components, accessories, and support services that state and local governments procure to equip and maintain presentation, broadcast, and instructional spaces across educational facilities, courtrooms, emergency operations centers, and civic meeting venues. Recent solicitations show school districts, cities, counties, universities, and regional authorities buying interactive flat panels with installation services, LED video walls, assistive listening systems, sound reinforcement equipment, control systems, cabling infrastructure, and comprehensive AV systems integration supporting everything from classroom instruction and municipal council chambers to stadium audio upgrades and performing arts venues.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Cobb County and Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Walled Lake Consolidated and Van Dyke Public Schools in Michigan, Clarke County Schools in Georgia, Beaver County School District in Utah), city and county procurement offices (Arlington, Santa Monica, Orlando, College Park, St. Marys, New Haven, Wake County, Gwinnett County), universities (University of Texas at Austin, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Valencia College, University of Central Florida), and specialized authorities (Connecticut General Assembly Legislative Office, Railroad Commission of Texas, Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta Regional Commission). Texas and Georgia account for the heaviest recent activity, with multiple school district and municipal solicitations visible across both states, while procurement spreads across Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, California, Utah, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District's RFP2026072 for classroom projectors and AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services (due August 6, 2026), the City of Arlington's solicitation for LED video walls to upgrade council chambers and briefing room displays (due August 20, 2026), the Connecticut General Assembly's RFQ for Capitol kiosk AV equipment including MIMO monitors, LG displays, and digital players (due August 19, 2026), and the City of Santa Monica's RFP for citywide audio-visual systems integration and maintenance services with prevailing wage requirements (due August 3, 2026).
