UNSPSC 43201604: Electronic equipment bays or baskets

A component designed to hold a specific device within a chassis.

UNSPSC 43201604 Electronic equipment bays or baskets, a Commodity code, designates storage, mounting, and containment systems for electronic devices—carts, racks, baskets, and enclosures that organize and house computing, networking, and audio-visual equipment in operational environments. Recent state and local opportunities under this code span correctional facilities, K–12 school districts, colleges, and municipal departments acquiring integrated technology systems where device storage and power distribution form part of the procurement. Sauk County, Wisconsin's inmate telephone and tablet system RFP (posted July 2, 2026; due August 26, 2026) includes wall-mounted kiosk infrastructure and mobile systems across jail housing units. School districts dominate the activity—Troup County Schools (Georgia), Toombs County Board of Education (Georgia), Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia), DeSoto County Schools (Mississippi), and multiple others are procuring Chromebook devices, desktop computers, and classroom technology that routinely incorporate cart, cabinet, and mounting solutions as integrated line items. Valencia College (Florida) is seeking classroom and conference room technology services encompassing equipment cabinets and mounting infrastructure for nine campus locations. City of Austin is bidding station alerting audio parts including mounting racks and brackets (IFB DCG1036; due July 14, 2026). The code also captures catalog discount and as-needed IT hardware contracts—Pasco County (Florida) RFQ, Fairfax County (Virginia) IT hardware RFP, and the School District of Manatee County (Florida) technology equipment discount procurement—where bays, baskets, docking stations, and related infrastructure may be ordered on demand.

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Toombs County, Troup County, Gwinnett County, Columbia County, Bibb County, McDuffie County, Academy for Classical Education in Macon), Florida (Sauk County, Manatee County, Pembroke Pines, Valencia College), Mississippi (DeSoto County, Covington County, Madison County), and Texas (Region One Education Service Center, Northside Independent School District). Issuing bodies include county school boards and district-level school systems, county and city governments (Pasco County, Fairfax County, City of Austin, City of Tampa), higher-education institutions (Valencia College, University of Texas at San Antonio, University of Mississippi), and correctional facilities. The recent-opportunities block shows no standalone RFPs or IFBs explicitly for bay, basket, or mounting-only procurements; instead, the code appears tagged on broad technology equipment and services solicitations where device infrastructure is a subordinate component rather than the primary deliverable. School district Chromebook and desktop computer purchases, classroom technology upgrades, and municipal IT refreshes represent the dominant demand, with device containment and power management expected as integrated scope. No single jurisdiction appears more than twice in the recent activity, indicating fragmented, project-based buying across numerous school systems and local agencies rather than concentration among a few repeat buyers.
