UNSPSC 43201406: Optical network transmit cards

A card that contains optoelectirc circuitry that converts an electrical signal to an optical signal.

UNSPSC 43201406 Optical network transmit cards is a Commodity code representing specialized fiber-optic networking components that state and local governments buy as part of broader infrastructure modernization and network upgrades. The recent opportunities in the source, however, show minimal direct procurement of standalone optical transmit cards; instead, state and local bodies are acquiring complete network switching and routing systems, metropolitan and wide-area network equipment, converged network infrastructure, and associated professional services where optical components function as subassemblies within larger system deployments. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Garland Independent School District, the State of Texas, the City of Orlando, Bergen County and Bergen Community College, Pinellas County School District, the City of Ocala, Jackson County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Chatham County Sheriff's Office, and other jurisdictions are soliciting Cisco Catalyst switches, MOXA managed field switches, Palo Alto firewalls, network core equipment, and fiber infrastructure as integrated procurements rather than point purchases of transmit cards alone. The issuing-body mix spans counties, independent school districts, state departments, cities, and special districts across Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Jersey, and California, with network infrastructure upgrades driven by aging legacy systems, capacity expansion, and ITS or digital-signage deployments.

The geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Florida (City of Orlando, Ocala, Pinellas County Schools, Broward County, Seminole County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Jackson County, Atlanta Beltline), Texas (Garland ISD, State of Texas, TxDOT, City of Houston Area Council, Region 7, Palo Alto), California (State of California, City of Palo Alto), New Jersey (Bergen County, Bergen Community College), and North Carolina (Wake County). Representative opportunities include Garland Independent School District's RFP 510-27-02 for Metropolitan Area Network and Wide Area Network equipment and services (proposals due November 10, 2026), Jackson County Board of Commissioners' RFP PE67800NONST2026000000046 for Cisco network switching and routing equipment replacement (proposals due July 2, 2026), the City of Orlando's RFP26-0578 for Camping World Stadium converged network system design and installation (proposals due October 20, 2026), and Wake County's competitive bid for specified Cisco equipment at the Sommerset 2 Building Site (bids due July 10, 2026). Standalone optical transmit cards show no direct recent solicitation activity in the provided opportunities; firms pursuing this code should monitor network infrastructure modernization tenders from state DOT agencies, transit authorities, and utility organizations where point procurement of optical components may surface as separate line items or accessories to larger network refresh projects.
