UNSPSC 43201550: Network packet data synchronization device

The syncronisation device is connected to digital links connecting network hardware. It ensures that the 2 ends of the network hardware are synchronised to avoid bit slips and loss

UNSPSC 43201550 Network packet data synchronization device is a Commodity code that encompasses network infrastructure equipment and installation services state and local governments are procuring to upgrade, replace, and support core switching, routing, and connectivity systems across facilities. Recent activity shows governments buying Cisco and other enterprise-class network switches, fiber optic cabling infrastructure, wireless access points, uninterruptible power supplies with network management cards, and related professional services including design, installation, configuration, testing, and cutover work. The code captures both hardware procurement and the labor-intensive installation and integration work that typically accompanies network infrastructure upgrades, particularly in school districts, county governments, and city departments undertaking E-Rate-funded or locally-funded technology refreshes.

The issuing bodies are diverse: school districts (Tacoma, Bibb County, Gordon County, Fayette County, Hays CISD, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Academy for Classical Education) dominate recent activity, followed by county public works and transportation departments (Seminole County, Orange County), city departments (Atlanta Department of Aviation, Royal Oak Public Library), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple school districts across Texas (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). Georgia, Texas, and Florida see the most recent solicitation activity, with secondary activity in Washington, Michigan, and Minnesota. Geographic spread spans the Southeast heavily, with material activity in Texas school districts and sporadic municipal procurement in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include Jackson County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (RFP for replacement of Cisco switching and routing equipment with hardware, professional services, and a $1.5 million performance bond, proposals due July 2, 2026), Seminole County Public Works in Florida (sealed bid for network switches, optics, antennas, and encoders for Advanced Traffic Management System upgrade, bids due July 22, 2026), City of Atlanta Department of Aviation (IFB for labor and expertise to replace end-of-life network switches at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, bids due August 3, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (ITB for Cisco Meraki enterprise licensing covering approximately 5,842 MS300 switches and 20,737 MT and MR Essentials licenses with an estimated budget of approximately $10.3 million for the initial three-year term, bids due February 22, 2026). E-Rate federal funding is a material driver across school district solicitations, with compliance requirements and lowest-corresponding-price rules shaping vendor qualification and pricing submission mandates.
