UNSPSC 41113718: Protocol analyzers

UNSPSC 41113718 Protocol analyzers (Commodity) encompasses network diagnostic and monitoring equipment that state and local governments procure to support infrastructure upgrades, traffic management systems, and broadband network operations. Recent solicitations show purchases of network switches, fiber modules, SFP optics, media converters, and related hardware deployed across traffic management systems, transit authority networks, and school district data centers—equipment that enables real-time network visibility and troubleshooting rather than protocol analysis in the strict sense. Issuing bodies span transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), county public works departments (Seminole County), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Parkway School District), and state agencies (Texas Department of Information Resources). Cooperative purchasing vehicles also drive activity, with Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas running recurring network systems and supplies catalog-discount bids that serve multiple member districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary presence in Missouri and Washington state. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County Public Works' sealed-bid solicitation (IFB524026LTT, due July 22, 2026) for network switches, optics, antennas, and encoders to upgrade its Advanced Traffic Management System; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's purchase orders for Moxa SFP fiber modules (REQ2097714, due February 21, 2026) and Antaira modules and media converters (REQ2098257, due May 26, 2026); Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog-discount network systems and supplies re-bid (NET2628, due July 28, 2026, with estimated expenditures of $12.011 million over two years); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' enterprise licensing solicitation for Cisco Meraki network hardware (26045ITBDST, due February 22, 2026, with estimated budget of approximately $10.3 million). Payment terms typically run Net 30 to Net 45, with FOB Destination freight included in pricing. Delivery timelines are critical; several solicitations flag failure to meet delivery schedules as grounds for rejection and default termination.
