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 is a Commodity code that names a specific hardware accessory category, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent engagement with the nominal scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged with this code predominantly solicit complete computer systems — desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and workstations — alongside peripherals and related IT services, rather than the discrete bays or baskets that the code name describes. The issuing bodies span the full range of state and local procurement: county information technology departments, school districts, state cooperative purchasing programs, county boards of commissioners, city aviation departments, and state departments of corrections. Collin County Information Technology Department in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, and multiple Georgia school districts (Columbia County, Paulding County, Troup County, Gwinnett County) appear frequently in recent solicitations, each pursuing multi-year or annual refresh cycles for Windows and Chromebook devices to support administrative and instructional operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in California through its statewide cooperative purchasing program (CCPP XVI), Wisconsin, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Information Technology's IFB 2026-390 for computers, peripherals, and accessories from Dell Platinum or Titanium resellers, with an estimated annual value of $1.2 million and response due October 15, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for computer devices with an estimated $34 million annual budget and response due October 7, 2026; Columbia County School District's RFP for 30 gaming computers with integrated monitors and specialized configurations, response due October 21, 2026; and the State of California's CCPP XVI cooperative framework bidding (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, ViewSonic, and LG) with responses due August 20, 2026. The code shows vigorous activity around device procurement, warranty and accidental damage protection, configuration and imaging services, and multi-year framework agreements, though the activity does not align closely with the code's nominal focus on discrete equipment bays or storage accessories.
