UNSPSC 25173303: Automotive computer systems

UNSPSC 25173303 Automotive computer systems is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses sealed bids and quotes for desktop, laptop, tablet, and portable computing devices—often with mandatory vendor tier requirements and firm fixed pricing structures. Collin County Information Technology Department solicited Dell business-class computers, peripherals, and accessories under IFB 2026-390 (due October 15, 2026, estimated annual value $1.2 million) with a mandatory requirement that bidders hold Dell Platinum or Titanium reseller certification; the County specified exact equipment models including the Dell Pro Precision 5 16S, Dell Pro Rugged 14, and Dell Latitude 7350 Detachable, with five-year manufacturer warranty coverage including accidental damage protection required on all portable devices. Bidders must submit a firm-fixed markup percentage applied across all authorized equipment, with all manufacturer price reductions, rebates, and promotional discounts passing through to the County at the time of purchase. The County operates approximately 3,000 Windows-based computers and places three to four orders annually averaging 600 units per year, with delivery required within 15 calendar days of order receipt and backordered items due within 15 working days or the County may procure elsewhere. Bidders must provide three references, demonstrate three years of continuous computer equipment sales operation, maintain general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, and comply with debarment and conflict-of-interest certifications.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing this code include county information technology departments and similar administrative buyers in Texas; no other recent activity appears in the source material that directly aligns with the Commodity's scope. The recent opportunities block contains procurement notices unrelated to automotive computer systems—including Cuyahoga County's hotspot and software lease (Blacklight Network), the City of Atlanta's ERP system support, the City of Tucson's route management software, traffic signal modernization projects, bridge replacement work, and Cummins engine and crane brake sole-source RFIs. None of these match UNSPSC 25173303's defined scope of automotive or general computing devices and peripherals. The code shows limited recent activity; the single representative opportunity is Collin County's October 2026 IFB for Dell-branded computers and peripherals.
