UNSPSC 32101604: Programmable read only memory PROM

UNSPSC 32101604 Programmable read only memory PROM is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local government procurements currently posted under it. The recent opportunities in this code show little alignment with programmable read-only memory hardware; instead, they predominantly solicit file servers, network switching equipment, network cabling services, Apple branded products, wireless and satellite services, and encoder equipment. The issuing bodies are mixed and include county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Chatham County, Georgia), a county sheriff's office, county purchasing departments, state information resources departments (Texas Department of Information Resources), regional cooperative purchasing organizations (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), and municipal governments. Activity spans multiple states, with recent solicitations originating in Georgia, New Jersey, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid solicitation (PE77023NONST2027000000788) for file servers and peripheral equipment—HP ProLiant DL380 G12 servers with memory, hard drives, USB flash drives, network cards, and scanners—with bids due October 29, 2026; Chatham County Sheriff's Office ITB 26-0114-6 requesting two Cisco Catalyst 9500 network switches and related Cisco OEM hardware, licenses, and support with a response deadline of October 20, 2026; and the Texas Department of Information Resources RFO DIR-CPO-TMP-561 for Apple Branded Products and Related Services covering desktop computers, laptops, tablets, peripherals, and value-added services such as installation, warranty, and managed services (this solicitation shows historical combined statewide Apple sales of $949.35 million across state agencies, local governments, and institutions of higher education for fiscal years 2018–2021). The code classification appears inconsistent with actual procurement activity, and pursuit should be guided by the specific products and services named in individual RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB postings rather than the code's nominal scope.
