UNSPSC 43201414: Hard disk protector

An anti-modification device which protects a hard disk from modification of programs or data by other persons except for the administrator. It is designed to be installed in an ISA slot of a computer.

UNSPSC 43201414 Hard disk protector is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The recent solicitations posted from July 2026 back through January 2026 focus on network infrastructure, switching equipment, wireless access points, cabling, firewalls, traffic control systems, UPS units, and classroom technology—none of which represent hard disk protection devices or services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities indicates that either the code assignment to these solicitations is incorrect or this Commodity code sees little relevant recent procurement activity at the state and local level.

The opportunities that appear in the source span a broad geographic footprint including Oregon (Eugene), Georgia (Atlanta, Jackson County, Bibb County, Houston County, Gwinnett County, Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Orange County, Broward County, Miami-Dade, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County), North Carolina (Wake County), Texas (multiple districts and the Texas Department of Information Resources), Michigan (Royal Oak, Grosse Pointe), Washington (Tacoma), California (Long Beach, Palo Alto, Kern County), Connecticut (Meriden), Missouri (Parkway), Mississippi (Alcorn), and other jurisdictions. State departments, school districts, counties, and special-purpose transportation authorities dominate the issuing-body mix. The actual procurement activity centers on network switches (Cisco, HPE Aruba, Meraki, Juniper), wireless equipment, fiber optic cabling, firewalls (Palo Alto, Fortinet, FortiGate), core infrastructure upgrades, and services—categories that do not match hard disk protector specifications or functionality.
