UNSPSC 43201560: Coprocessor

A processor that is used for the purpose of assisting the central processing unit CPU from the computer system.

UNSPSC 43201560 Coprocessor is a Commodity code covering specialized computing processors and related hardware that state and local governments procure primarily as components within larger network infrastructure and information technology systems. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring coprocessors, networking equipment, and associated computing infrastructure in bundle procurements focused on data center modernization, network switching and routing replacements, and IT system upgrades rather than as standalone processor units. The issuing bodies span county IT departments, city information technology divisions, state transportation and technology agencies, independent school districts, and regional purchasing cooperatives, with active procurement across Georgia, Texas, Florida, California, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, and other states. Network infrastructure upgrades and equipment replacements dominate the code's recent activity, reflecting state and local government investment in modernizing aging switching, routing, and data center systems to support current and emerging technologies.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IFB for file servers and peripheral equipment with response due October 29, 2026, seeking HP ProLiant DL380 G12 servers with dual Intel Xeon processors and supporting peripherals on a four-year annual contract starting January 1, 2027; Jackson County Board of Commissioners' RFP for replacement of existing Cisco network switching and routing equipment with proposals due July 2, 2026, covering Catalyst 9300 series switches and ASR routers alongside professional services for network assessment, installation, and configuration; and the State of Texas' RFO for remote network control units with cellular backup, mounting hardware, and warranty, with bids due August 26, 2026, specifying WTI remote management equipment and 4G LTE cellular modems. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, though recent activity extends across California, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Oregon. Cooperative purchasing vehicles—including DIR, Sourcewell, and regional ESC contracts—feature prominently, indicating that many state and local buyers access coprocessor and networking equipment through pre-negotiated state or multistate agreements rather than issuing standalone solicitations.
