UNSPSC 43201409: Wireless network interface cards

Wireless network interface cards provide a dedicated connection to a wireless network. This includes the Bluetooth standard.

UNSPSC 43201409 Wireless network interface cards is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure network interface hardware, but recent activity shows the code captures a narrow slice of actual network infrastructure procurement — the opportunities identified under it span server peripheral equipment, network switching and routing systems, converged network infrastructure, fiber cabling, emergency responder communication systems, and traffic management networking. The issuing-body mix is diverse: county departments of information technology and transportation, independent school districts, municipal procurement offices, state transportation agencies, and special-purpose authorities including airport operators and judicial circuits. Recent solicitations indicate most actual purchasing occurs under broader network infrastructure families; opportunities explicitly tagged to the wireless NIC commodity code itself are sparse in the dataset.

Geographic spread across recent activity includes Georgia (Gwinnett County, Jackson County, Atlanta), Texas (Garland ISD, State of Texas, TxDOT), Florida (Orlando, Ocala, Pinellas County Schools, Broward County, Orange County, Clay County), Oregon (City of Eugene, Eugene-Springfield area), North Carolina (Wake County), New Jersey (Bergen County, Bergen Community College), California (City of Palo Alto, San Mateo County), and Pennsylvania (City of Philadelphia). Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid RFP for file servers and peripheral equipment (including network cards) with response due October 29, 2026, structured as an annual contract requiring HP reseller authorization; Garland Independent School District's RFP for MAN and WAN equipment and services with proposals due November 10, 2026; and the City of Orlando's RFP 26-0578 for converged network system design and installation at Camping World Stadium due October 27, 2026, requiring Wi-Fi 7 and redundant 1 Gbps core switching infrastructure. Bergen Community College's on-call network cabling RFP due November 4, 2026 addresses Category 6 cable plant modifications across three New Jersey campuses over a two-year term. When the code's nominal scope (wireless NICs) diverges from recent opportunity content, the mismatch reflects how state and local procurement systems tag complex network projects to granular commodity codes rather than to the family or class level that would better reflect their actual scope.
