UNSPSC 32101601: Random access memory RAM

UNSPSC 32101601 Random access memory RAM is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure memory modules and related server components as part of broader information technology infrastructure upgrades and ongoing hardware refresh cycles. The recent opportunities show that RAM appears most often bundled with file server purchases, network switch orders, and comprehensive IT equipment contracts rather than as a standalone consumable. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 sealed-bid for file servers and peripheral equipment explicitly includes memory as a line item within a multi-year hardware supply contract, alongside hard drives, USB flash drives, network cards, and modems. Similarly, Chatham County Sheriff's Office solicited Cisco Catalyst 9500 network switches with related networking hardware and specified power supplies and transceivers in October 2026, where memory components may be included as part of the networked infrastructure package. The issuing bodies under this code span county IT departments and regional purchasing cooperatives; Gwinnett County and Chatham County appear as repeat hardware buyers, and the Texas Department of Information Resources and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (based in Kilgore, Texas) manage statewide or multi-jurisdictional cooperative contracts covering network and IT systems and supplies that encompass memory as a component line.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Gwinnett County's sealed-bid (Solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000788, response due October 29, 2026) requires authorized HP resellers with at least five years' experience serving mid-to-large companies or governments, with pricing submitted as a percentage discount off Georgia state contract pricing for both servers and server peripherals; the contract begins January 1, 2027, with an initial four-year term plus four optional 12-month renewals. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for network systems and supplies (Solicitation NET2628, responses due July 28, 2026) carries an estimated total expenditure of $12.011 million over a two-year term from August 20, 2026 through August 20, 2028, serving multiple member agencies across Texas. Chatham County's ITB 26-0114-6 (responses due October 20, 2026) requires bidders to be current Cisco Partners in good standing and establishes a 30 percent combined M/WBE participation goal. The code shows limited standalone RAM solicitation activity; memory procurement appears primarily as a peripheral or component within larger server, network, or equipment supply contracts rather than as an independent line of business.
