UNSPSC 43201535: Serial infrared ports

Devices that enable information technology equipment to communicate with infrared frequencies and protocols.

UNSPSC 43201535 Serial infrared ports (Commodity) does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses point-to-point infrared communication hardware, but the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains no opportunities matching that scope. Instead, the block reports solicitations for network switching infrastructure (Cisco, HPE Aruba, Juniper, Extreme Networks, Palo Alto), wireless access points, fiber optic cabling, traffic control systems, firewall equipment, UPS units, and miscellaneous IT infrastructure—none of which are serial infrared ports or closely related components. The single outlier, a Dalton Utilities procurement for G-230G-A GPON optical network terminals, involves fiber-optic-based data interfaces rather than infrared signaling. No state or local procurement body has posted a competitive or cooperative solicitation specifically for serial infrared port equipment or components within the recent window.

The activity concentration in the recent-opportunities block—dominated by E-Rate-funded network modernization at school districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, Washington, and other states—reflects heavy public investment in wireless, switching, and core data infrastructure rather than legacy or niche point-to-point infrared interfaces. Business development focus on this commodity code is not justified by current market signal.
