UNSPSC 52161610: Loud speaker stand

Device that enables loud speakers to be raised in height off the floor or a shelf, to improve sound projection.

UNSPSC 52161610 Loud speaker stand, a Commodity code, covers speaker mounting and support hardware that state and local governments procure as components within larger audio system installations, venue upgrades, and broadcast infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show that loudspeaker stands rarely appear as standalone line items; instead, they are specified as subordinate components of comprehensive audio-visual system overhauls, often bundled within turnkey contracts that bundle equipment, installation, labor, and integration. The issuing bodies span the full range of public entities—municipalities (City of Orlando, City of Philadelphia, City of New London, New Smyrna Beach Utilities Commission), state universities (University of Texas at Austin), school districts (Barrow County School District, New London Board of Education), and college systems (Valencia College District)—with no dominant repeat buyer evident in recent activity.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with multiple recent opportunities posted in Florida (Orlando, New Smyrna Beach, Valencia College), Georgia (Barrow County), Texas (University of Texas at Austin), and Connecticut (New London). Representative solicitations include the City of Orlando's RFP 260476 for Camping World Stadium Main Bowl Sound System Upgrade (due July 31, 2026), which encompasses a complete turnkey bowl audio system including main loudspeaker systems with associated support and rigging; the University of Texas at Austin's RFP 721-26074 for Bass Concert Hall and McCullough Theater Audio Renovation (due May 15, 2026), specifying four CM Lodestar Classic Model L hoists (1-ton capacity each) and speaker support structures as part of a 24-month phased installation; and the Barrow County School District's audio system upgrades across seven schools (due February 26, 2026), requiring commercial-grade equipment installation with speaker hardware at multiple cafeteria and gymnasium locations. Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 for Classroom & Conference Room Technology Services (due April 30, 2026) indicates anticipated annual spending of approximately $1.6 million over five years across nine campuses, though loudspeaker stands are embedded within standard room configurations rather than procured separately.
