UNSPSC 43201541: Channel to channel interface mainframe

An interface device used to connect two or more mainframe channels.

UNSPSC 43201541 Channel to channel interface mainframe is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of network interface modules, media converters, and related network hardware used to connect mainframe systems to broader network infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying Moxa fiber modules, Antaira media converters, and network switches to support traffic management systems, transit authority operations, and county-wide data center refresh initiatives, though the actual scope of procurements under this code diverges significantly from its nominal name—the work being solicited is largely contemporary network connectivity hardware rather than legacy mainframe interface equipment.

County governments dominate recent activity, with Seminole County (Florida) and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority soliciting hardware for infrastructure upgrades via IFB and purchase order vehicles. Parkway School District (Missouri) issued a data center refresh procurement requiring Dell and Pure Storage integration alongside network configuration services. Geographic spread centers on Texas, Florida, and California, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Seminole County Public Works Department IFB 524026LTT (posted June 29, 2026, due July 22, 2026) for network switches, optics, antennas, and encoders to support the Advanced Traffic Management System upgrade; Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority purchase order REQ2098257 (posted May 8, 2026, due May 26, 2026) for Antaira modules and media converters; and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority purchase order REQ2097714 (posted February 6, 2026, due February 21, 2026) for 50 units of Moxa SFP fiber modules. All recent opportunities require FOB Destination terms, Net 30 payment, and authorized reseller or partner status; none disclose specific budget ranges or set-aside designations in available documents.
