UNSPSC 55111515: Educational material audio tape

Material that records the data and contents of education and training on the audio tape.

UNSPSC 55111515 Educational material audio tape is a Commodity code that captures audio-visual equipment and systems for municipal government operations, including recording, amplification, streaming, and accessibility infrastructure for public meetings and courtrooms. State and local governments procure this code for integrated audio-visual solutions that serve dual purposes — in-person attendance support, remote access, and ADA compliance — rather than traditional educational materials alone. The issuing bodies are typically city governments and municipal authorities managing public-facing spaces such as council chambers and courtrooms, where systems must support live recording, closed captioning, speaker amplification, hearing and visual assistance, and often live streaming to residents.

The City of St. Marys, Georgia issued an RFP (PE66960NONST2027000000057) on June 16, 2026 with a response deadline of July 17, 2026 for audio-visual services for a new joint City Council Chamber and Municipal Court room. The solicitation offers two options: Option A covers interior recording and amplification with full ADA compliance; Option B adds individual council-member monitors, YouTube streaming with live captioning, hallway displays, and additional speakers. Required equipment includes twelve microphones, two cameras, live closed captioning, hearing-assist devices, a visual timer, and all components must be NDAA compliant. The city emphasizes local government experience and places greatest weight on expertise in audio-visual technology (25 points), qualifications (20 points), range of services and support capacity (20 points), and familiarity with municipal government laws and regulations (15 points), with cost and schedule accounting for only 10 points. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 2, 2026, and the awarded vendor must provide a five-year equipment refresh cycle and Service License Agreement with ongoing technical support.
