UNSPSC 41113711: Network analyzers

UNSPSC 41113711 Network analyzers is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of network monitoring and analysis equipment, though the recent opportunities show the code is being applied to a broader array of networking hardware and systems integration. Recent solicitations tag switches, firewalls, wireless access points, UPS units, cabling, and comprehensive network infrastructure projects under this code, indicating that state and local procurement offices use it as a catch-all for networked electronics and related services rather than narrowly for dedicated protocol analyzers or packet-capture appliances.

Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, municipal IT departments, and state agencies across the country. School districts dominate the recent activity—Hillsborough County (Florida), Houston County (Georgia), Bibb County (Georgia), Sarasota County (Florida), Tacoma (Washington), Grosse Pointe (Michigan), Hays Consolidated (Texas), and others—most funded through E-Rate federal discounts for eligible technology. County departments of aviation, public works, and utilities also appear frequently, as do city IT and transportation departments. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB for a $10.3 million Cisco Meraki Enterprise License Agreement (January 2026, due February 22, 2026); Jackson County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) RFP for Cisco switching and routing equipment replacement with professional services (June 2026, due July 2, 2026); and Broward County (Florida) ITB for adaptive traffic control and fiber optics systems (February 2026, due March 9, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles are prevalent—City of Eugene used NASPO cooperative agreement SKE001000017377 (July 2026) for Juniper switches; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) reissued catalog discount bids NET2628 and NET2324 for network systems and supplies serving multiple member districts. IFBs, RFPs, and RFQs are the dominant notice types, with E-Rate-funded school procurements typically structured as RFPs with 60- to 120-day response windows and firm pricing tied to federal funding approval.

Geographic spread is national, with concentrated recent activity in Texas (Hays Consolidated, Region 7 Coop, Houston County, Alcorn), Georgia (Jackson County, Bibb County, Houston County, Savannah-Chatham), and Florida (Hillsborough, Broward, Seminole County, Sarasota), followed by California (Orange County, Sacramento County, Palo Alto), Michigan (Grosse Pointe, Royal Oak), and scattered activity in Washington, Connecticut, North Carolina, Oregon, and other states. E-Rate funding shapes procurement timing and structure across most school district activity, with funding cycles pushing proposal deadlines into the first and second quarters of each fiscal year. Competitive intensity is high for major infrastructure projects and cooperative catalog agreements; smaller single-site upgrades and E-Rate renewals draw fewer bidders. Price-based evaluation dominates school district procurements; IT departments and transportation agencies weight technical approach and vendor qualifications more heavily.
