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 map meaningfully to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source records. The code nominally describes serial infrared ports—discrete hardware components for device communication. However, the recent opportunities posted under or near this code concern network infrastructure, switching, routing, firewall equipment, IT appliances, and related professional services far broader in scope than serial infrared port procurement. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source data or that serial infrared ports are so rarely purchased standalone by state and local bodies that they are bundled into larger network, server, or IT equipment RFPs rather than solicited as distinct line items.

The recent opportunities tagged in this code block include file server and peripheral equipment procurement (Gwinnett County, Georgia, IFB due October 29, 2026), broad network equipment solicitations (Garland ISD and State of Texas, RFP due November 10, 2026), and converged network system design and installation (City of Orlando, RFP due October 20, 2026)—none of which isolates serial infrared ports as a procurement focus. Without recent stand-alone or clearly itemized serial infrared port solicitations in the source, no meaningful geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or buyer intent can be discerned at the Commodity level for this code.
