UNSPSC 43201522: Parallel port cards

Parallel port cards are used for data transmission between input output devices and the cpu. Data transmission is two way in nature at any point of time.

UNSPSC 43201522 Parallel port cards is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, appears to describe network infrastructure equipment broadly—though the code designation diverges significantly from what state and local governments are actually purchasing under it. Recent opportunities show buyers are procuring comprehensive networking solutions including file servers and peripherals, network switching and routing hardware, managed field switches, Wi-Fi infrastructure systems, fiber cabling services, and converged network systems rather than parallel port cards specifically. The issuing-body mix spans county IT departments (Gwinnett County in Georgia, Jackson County in Georgia, Chatham County in Georgia, Wake County in North Carolina), independent school districts (Garland ISD in Texas, Northside ISD in Texas), state-level technology agencies (State of Texas, State of California), transit and municipal authorities (City of Orlando, City of Atlanta, City of Philadelphia, City of Eugene), and special-purpose districts (Bergen Community College, City of Palo Alto Office of Transportation). State and local governments across Georgia, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, California, Oregon, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions are actively buying under this code.

Representative recent opportunities include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid solicitation (PE77023NONST2027000000788) for file servers and peripheral equipment including network cards, modems, and scanners with bids due October 29, 2026, and Jackson County Board of Commissioners' RFP (PE67800NONST2026000000046) for replacement of Cisco network switching and routing infrastructure with proposals due July 2, 2026 and mandatory pre-proposal conference on June 18, 2026. Other active opportunities include the City of Orlando's RFP 26-0578 for converged network system design and installation at Camping World Stadium with responses due October 20, 2026; Bergen Community College's on-call network cabling services RFP with proposals due November 4, 2026; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's network systems and supplies catalog discount bid (NET2628) with proposals due July 28, 2026, structured as a two-year cooperative vehicle serving multiple member agencies. The code shows substantial recent activity across procurement channels including ITB, RFP, RFQ, and cooperative purchasing vehicles, with issuing bodies ranging from single-entity purchases to multi-agency cooperative agreements.
