UNSPSC 43201405: Optical network receive cards

A card that contains optoelectric circuitry that converts an incoming optical signal to and electrical signal.

UNSPSC 43201405 Optical network receive cards (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The nine opportunities posted since April 2026 center on network switching infrastructure, routing equipment, wireless systems, cabling services, firewall hardware, digital signage, and fire alarm systems—none of which constitute optical network receive cards as a primary deliverable or standalone line item.

The state and local procurement landscape under this code shows fragmented issuing-body participation across counties, cities, independent school districts, state departments, and special-purpose agencies. Key recent activity includes Gwinnett County (Georgia) soliciting file servers and peripheral equipment including network cards on an annual contract (RFQ, due October 29, 2026); Garland Independent School District (Texas) requesting MAN and WAN equipment and services (RFP, due November 10, 2026); City of Orlando requesting converged network system design and installation at Camping World Stadium (RFP, due October 20, 2026); Bergen Community College (New Jersey) issuing on-call network cabling services for three campuses (RFP, due November 4, 2026); Jackson County (Georgia) requesting Cisco switching and routing infrastructure replacement with professional services (RFP, due July 2, 2026); and the Texas Department of Transportation procuring MOXA Layer 2 managed field switches and optics under a blanket purchase order (due August 14, 2026). The most recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, and Oregon. The code's nominal scope—optical network receive cards—appears misaligned with what these jurisdictions are actually buying, which is broader network infrastructure, system integration, and professional services rather than discrete optical transceiver components. Absent clear recent solicitations specifically targeting optical network receive cards as defined products, this code shows limited current pursuit opportunity for vendors focused on that commodity.
