UNSPSC 43201411: Peripheral component interconnect PCI card

A card that is connected in a PCI expansion slot or motherboard to increase the connectivity of the computer.

UNSPSC 43201411 Peripheral component interconnect PCI card is a Commodity code that sees sparse relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—computer interface cards—does not align with the overwhelming majority of recent solicitations posted under this designation, which focus instead on network infrastructure, switching equipment, wireless systems, and related services across schools, counties, and municipal departments. A review of recent opportunities shows Oregon, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan, California, and Texas issuing notices for items such as Juniper network switches, Cisco catalyst switches, Meraki licensing, HPE Aruba equipment, fiber optic cabling, uninterruptible power supplies, and firewall systems—all substantially distinct from discrete PCI card procurement.

State and local buyers posting under this code span independent school districts (Tacoma, Sarasota, Houston County, Hillsborough County, Grosse Pointe, Alcorn, Bibb County, Savannah-Chatham), county governments (Wake County, Orange County, Seminole County, Broward County, Jackson County, Gordon County), municipal departments (Atlanta, Eugene, Philadelphia, Long Beach, Meriden, Palo Alto, Royal Oak), and special-purpose authorities (Dalton Utilities, Sacramento County Department of Airports). The code shows little signal for pursuing network-interface-card buyers specifically. Representative recent solicitations—such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's NET2628 catalog discount bid (Texas, due July 28, 2026) for network systems and supplies, Juniper switches for Eugene (cooperative procurement, due July 9, 2026), and network cabling upgrades across multiple states—consistently describe equipment procurement, installation, and support services that exceed the scope of a single card component. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with significant secondary activity in California, Michigan, and the Pacific Northwest. The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement scope suggests vendors should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities flagged under 43201411.
