UNSPSC 43201549: Interface bus switches

An interface bus switch enables several controllers to share one or more devices, or lets a single controller operate multiple bus systems. An example is a GPIB or general purpose interface bus.

UNSPSC 43201549 Interface bus switches, a Commodity code, encompasses network switching hardware and related connectivity infrastructure that state and local governments procure to support traffic management systems, network upgrades, and enterprise IT operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing switches, optics, media converters, and fiber modules as components within larger network refresh, Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) expansion, and enterprise licensing initiatives rather than switches as standalone procurement objects. The mix of issuing bodies includes county public works departments (Seminole County, Florida), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Parkway School District, Valencia College), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple public entities across Texas.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with recent opportunities spanning Seminole County (ATMS network equipment upgrade via IFB 524026LTT posted June 29, 2026), Dallas Area Rapid Transit (50 Moxa SFP fiber modules, REQ2097714 due February 21, 2026 and Antaira modules and media converters, REQ2098257 due May 26, 2026), Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas (network systems and supplies catalog discount bid NET2628 due July 28, 2026 with estimated $12.011 million spend over two years), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (Meraki licensing ITB 26045ITBDST due February 22, 2026 with estimated $10.3 million for three years), Parkway School District in Missouri (data center refresh including network switching components, ITB 2694 due February 12, 2026), and Valencia College District in Florida (classroom and conference room technology services RFP 2026-26 due April 30, 2026 with $1.6 million average annual spending). The code shows consistent activity through cooperative purchasing vehicles and transactional purchase orders rather than large-scale standalone switch procurements, indicating vendors should target integration roles within larger infrastructure or technology service contracts rather than commodity-level supply agreements.
