UNSPSC 83111803: Television antenna construction or rental services

UNSPSC 83111803 Television antenna construction or rental services is a Commodity code. State and local governments are procuring television delivery and broadcast infrastructure under this code, though recent opportunities show considerable mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited. A representative recent opportunity is the County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner's competitive bid for TV-related items with installation, maintenance, and repair services (IFB IFB0603099405SC, due October 9, 2026), which covers Samsung and LG televisions in multiple sizes, vandal-resistant enclosures, wall mounts, cable kits, ATSC 3.0 tuners, antenna modulators, RF distribution amplifiers, and HDMI splitters, along with labor services for installation and repair on a firm fixed-fee basis with unit pricing. The scope includes three-year service contracts with 24-hour installation response windows and after-hours labor rates. A mandatory pre-bid job walk was scheduled for September 24, 2026, with OCLSB and DVBE vendors eligible for a five percent price preference. The County of Orange procurement is the only recent opportunity directly addressing television equipment and services under this code; most other recent postings tagged to 83111803 involve cellular towers, radio towers, fiber optic installation, bridge work, or other infrastructure unrelated to television antenna construction or broadcast delivery.

The code shows light recent activity concentrated in California and Florida, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or established issuing-body mix. Beyond the Orange County television procurement, the recent-opportunities block contains no other television-antenna-specific solicitations; instead, it documents tower climbing and installation work (Marion County, Oregon RFP for antenna installation at fifteen tower sites, due September 9, 2026), cell tower leasing (Hillsborough County Public Schools, due September 23, 2026), radio tower decommissioning (Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, due August 20, 2026), and fiber optic cable installation (Sarasota County, due September 9, 2026). The code appears misapplied to many of these opportunities. Television antenna construction or rental services remain a narrow activity within state and local procurement; the County of Orange procurement is the most current and concrete signal of actual television delivery work being bought under this code, but volume remains limited and geographic concentration unclear from available recent data.
