UNSPSC 43201614: Console extenders

The console extender allows access to a computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). It is suitable for any kind of installations where the console needs to be kept in a conveniently accessible location, leaving the system equipment to reside in a safe place.

UNSPSC 43201614 Console extenders is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span computer hardware procurement—desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, monitors, tablets, and related peripherals—rather than console extenders or peripheral connectivity products. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county governments (Collin County, Texas; Paulding County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Sauk County, Wisconsin), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Columbia County, Georgia; Lowndes County, Georgia; multiple Georgia districts), the District of Columbia, state cooperative purchasing programs (California CCPP XVI), and specialized agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Broward County Aviation Department). The mix spans large consolidated purchases from major school systems and county IT departments to smaller one-off bids from individual schools and specialized correctional or aviation facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in California, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County Information Technology Department's IFB 2026-390 for computers, peripherals, and accessories from Dell Platinum or Titanium resellers, with bids due October 15, 2026 and an estimated annual contract value of $1.2 million; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for Windows laptops, desktops, and Chromebooks with proposals due October 7, 2026 and an estimated annual budget of $34 million across device acquisition, configuration, imaging, warranty, and support; and Columbia County School District's RFP TC-10-21-2026 for 30 gaming computers with integrated monitors, bids due October 21, 2026. The code shows substantial recent activity driven by district technology refresh cycles, but the UNSPSC classification mismatch signals that vendors should verify scope details directly against solicitation documents rather than relying on code nomenclature.
