UNSPSC 43201612: Computer faceplates

Face plates are the protective covering for the front of the computers or its components. They are available in various colors for monitors, speakers, CPU towers.

UNSPSC 43201612 Computer faceplates is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of work being solicited under recent state and local opportunities posted against it. The recent opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly seek complete computer systems—desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, workstations, tablets, and integrated hardware packages—along with peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, and mice, plus associated services including warranty, maintenance, imaging, and device management. Faceplates are not mentioned in any of the representative solicitations. The code's narrow nominal scope (computer faceplates as a single component or accessory item) bears no meaningful relation to the volume and complexity of full-system procurements and managed services actually being purchased by state agencies, counties, school districts, and special-purpose authorities under this code designation.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting computer equipment include large county governments (Collin County, Texas; Pasco County, Florida; Broward County, Florida; Paulding County, Georgia), school districts ranging from rural systems in Mississippi and Georgia to large metropolitan districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida with 235 school sites and 362,265 deployed devices; Gwinnett County Public Schools in Georgia serving 182,000 students), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and cooperative purchasing consortia at the state level (California's CCPP XVI framework). Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Information Technology Department IFB 2026-390 for computers, peripherals, and accessories with an estimated annual contract value of $1.2 million and a response deadline of October 15, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26376RFPDST for approximately 13,000 teacher Windows devices and 2,500 student Chromebooks with an estimated annual budget of $34 million and a response deadline of October 7, 2026; Columbia County School District RFP TC-10-21-2026 for 30 gaming computers with integrated monitors due October 21, 2026; and California's CCPP XVI framework agreements (RFB-IS-27200021 for Dell, RFB-IS-27200022 for HP, RFB-IS-27200023 for Lenovo, RFB-IS-27200024 for Microsoft, RFB-IS-27200025 for LG, and RFB-IS-27200026 for ViewSonic) all posted July 29, 2026 with bids due August 20, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Florida school districts, with additional activity in Texas (both state-level and county systems), California, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. The code shows substantial and sustained procurement activity, but that activity does not align with the faceplate commodity designation.
