A splitter box that enables multiple audio visual devices to be connected using SCART connectors.SCART is a a French-originated standard and associated 21-pin connector for connecting audio-visual (AV) equipment together.

UNSPSC 52161608 SCART splitter box, a Commodity code, describes signal distribution and audio-visual connectivity equipment that state and local governments procure as components of integrated AV systems—rarely as standalone purchases, but rather as part of broader classroom technology, conference room upgrades, and facility AV installations. Recent state and local opportunities reflect a market driven by school districts, colleges, municipalities, and regional authorities deploying classroom projectors, interactive flat panels, audio reinforcement systems, and comprehensive AV infrastructure across dozens of facilities; the code itself sees minimal direct solicitation as a line item, appearing instead as a subordinate component within larger system-integration procurements.

School districts dominate recent activity, with Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Cobb County Schools (Georgia), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), Jones County Schools (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Schools (Florida) all issuing RFPs and RFQs for classroom and facility AV equipment and services between April and July 2026. Universities and colleges are also active buyers—the University of Texas at Austin, Valencia College District, University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, and the University of Texas at Tyler have all posted major AV renovation and technology services RFPs in the same window. Cities and counties round out the buyer base: Arlington (Texas), Santa Monica (California), Orlando (Florida), St. Marys (Georgia), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Wake County (North Carolina), and the Atlanta Regional Commission have all solicited AV systems integration, live broadcasting, courtroom upgrades, and event production services. Northside ISD appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple cooperative quotes and full system procurements over the period. Geographic spread spans Texas (NISD, City of Arlington, Railroad Commission, UT Austin, Harlingen ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts, City of College Park, Atlanta Regional Commission, DeKalb County Schools), Florida (Orlando, Volusia County, New Smyrna Beach Utilities, Hillsborough and Valencia college systems), California (Santa Monica, Los Angeles Court), North Carolina (Wake County), Michigan (Walled Lake Consolidated, Van Dyke Public Schools), and scattered activity across Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Representative recent procurements include Northside ISD's July 2026 indefinite-quantity RFP for classroom projectors and AV equipment procurement, installation, removal, and repair services (due August 6, 2026); the City of Arlington's July 2026 RFP for LED video walls to replace aging monitors in Council Chambers and briefing rooms (due August 20, 2026); and the City of Santa Monica's July 2026 RFP for comprehensive citywide audio-visual systems integration, maintenance, and support services with prevailing wage and California contractor license requirements (due August 3, 2026, with five-year firm-fixed term). The Railroad Commission of Texas issued an IFB for live audio-visual broadcasting services covering approximately 20 annual Commission meetings, five hearings, and four town hall meetings (due July 15, 2026). Most opportunities emphasize turnkey installation, integration, technical support, and ongoing maintenance; many require prevailing wage compliance and carry set-aside or preference programs such as HUB utilization in Texas and MBE participation in Georgia and elsewhere.
