UNSPSC 52161611: Microphone stand

A support structure for a microphone. Types include desktop, straight and boom stands.

UNSPSC 52161611 Microphone stand (Commodity) covers mounting hardware and support equipment for audio capture and presentation in state and local facilities, though recent opportunities show the code capturing a broader mix of audio-visual system components and services than the nominal commodity name suggests. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services issued an informal written quotation for courtroom infrared assistive listening systems in June 2026 that included microphone-adjacent components alongside receivers and charging infrastructure; the City of Philadelphia solicited podcast equipment, audio-visual equipment bundles, and CCOM hardware through separate micro purchases and RFQs between April and June 2026; the Illinois Department of Corrections issued an IFB for over-the-ear headphones for deaf and hard-of-hearing inmates in May 2026; and Hillsborough County Public Schools and Valencia College District in Florida both posted ITBs and RFPs for comprehensive studio and classroom technology systems that embedded microphone systems within larger integrated audio-visual and control solutions. The issuing bodies span county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), municipal procurement bureaus (Philadelphia), state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections), and school districts and community college systems (Hillsborough County Public Schools and Valencia College District).

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with solicitations from Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and Pennsylvania between April and June 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's courtroom listening system upgrade (IWQ, June 2026, due June 12); the Illinois Department of Corrections headphone procurement (IFB 26-426DOC-CENTO-B-52328, due May 29); Hillsborough County Public Schools' studio equipment ITB for elementary, middle, and high school configurations with an estimated annual spending of approximately $300,000 (ITB 26049, due April 13); and Valencia College District's college-wide classroom and conference room technology RFP with historical annual spending of approximately $1.6 million (RFP 2026-26, due April 30). Most solicitations emphasize turnkey installation, integration, hands-on training, and multi-year warranty and maintenance terms, with delivery typically FOB Destination and vendor responsibility for on-site configuration and testing around active facility schedules.
