UNSPSC 86141702: Audio visual technology

UNSPSC 86141702 Audio visual technology is a Commodity code covering audio-visual equipment, systems, and related services that state and local governments procure for schools, institutions, and public facilities. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts acquiring interactive display systems, projectors, smart boards, and integrated auditorium audio-visual installations, alongside specialized applications such as online special education tracking platforms requiring audio-visual components and accessibility features. The code encompasses both equipment procurement and installation or integration services, with evaluations typically weighted toward technical specifications, installation quality, warranty terms, and ongoing support capabilities.

School districts dominate issuing activity under this code, with recent opportunities posted by Katy Independent School District (Texas), New Canaan High School (Connecticut), Cheshire Public Schools (Connecticut), and Dysart Unified School District (Arizona), reflecting broad geographic spread across the Northeast, South, and Southwest. The mix of solicitation types includes ITB and RFP notices for equipment purchase and installation; Katy ISD, the most active recent buyer under related codes, has also posted for audio-visual system components through its procurement portal. Recent representative opportunities include New Canaan High School's RFP #2026-09 (posted May 14, 2026, due June 10, 2026) for a comprehensive auditorium audio-visual system design, supply, installation, and commissioning with a mandatory site walk-through on May 28, 2026; the Town of Cheshire, Connecticut's ITB 252618 (posted March 25, 2026, due April 10, 2026) for SMART Board Flat Panel Devices purchase and installation at New Norton Elementary School; and Bristol, Connecticut's solicitation 2026-050 (posted March 3, 2026, due March 20, 2026) for technology equipment at Northeast Middle School. Connecticut, Texas, and other states with active K-12 procurement show consistent demand; no federal or state set-asides are identified in recent notices, and most awards remain open to all qualified vendors without disadvantaged enterprise restrictions.
