UNSPSC 72151601: Cable television installation service

The installation of cable television systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151601 Cable television installation service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure television equipment, installation labor, maintenance, and ongoing service delivery for administrative, correctional, and public-facility environments. Recent solicitations show three distinct operational contexts: (1) equipment procurement with labor services for law enforcement facilities, as typified by Orange County, California's IFB for Samsung and LG televisions with vandal-resistant enclosures, mounting hardware, and 24-hour installation turnaround at hourly rates; (2) subscription-based cable or satellite service delivery to facilities with distributed television access, including both channel packages and infrastructure, as seen in Texas Workforce Commission and Illinois Department of Corrections solicitations; and (3) integrated broadcast and content-automation systems serving government transparency and public-access requirements, exemplified by Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement of the Cablecast VIO2 OMNI platform. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Office of the Governor, Texas Workforce Commission, State of Nevada Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Corrections), county sheriff and corrections departments (Orange County California, Hillsborough County Florida), and specialized state boards. Correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies appear as repeat buyers, with cable and satellite service providers competing for multi-year contracts covering inmate television access and institutional messaging.

Geographic activity centers on California, Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Illinois, with recent solicitations spanning May through October 2026. Representative opportunities include Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's IFB (due October 9, 2026) for televisions and installation labor on a firm fixed-fee basis with three-year term and state/local small-business price preferences; Texas Office of the Governor's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for cable television services to the Austin headquarters facility, emphasizing financial responsibility, HUB subcontracting plans, and service-disabled veteran preferences under Texas Administrative Code; Texas Workforce Commission's IFB (due August 18, 2026) for cable services across three Austin locations with $32,130 baseline annual cost and CPI-adjusted renewal options; Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB at Vandalia Correctional Center (due June 4, 2026) for 750-connection cable system with four-year initial term and up to ten-year maximum duration funded from inmate benefit accounts; and Nevada Department of Corrections' RFP (due June 18, 2026) for digital television services across multiple facilities with mandatory site visits and comprehensive insurance bonding. Sole-source procurements for specialized platforms (Hillsborough County's Cablecast system, Illinois' facility-resident cable television) indicate vendor-specific technology lock-in in government broadcasting and institutional environments.
