UNSPSC 43201618 Computer rack component is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers IT hardware peripherals and supplies — specifically USB flash drives, portable hard drives, ink and toner products — rather than the discrete rack-mounted server or networking equipment the code name suggests. State and local buyers under this code include municipalities and school districts. The City of Philadelphia has posted a requirements contract for USB flash drives and portable hard drives with mandatory inside delivery, vendor-provided installation and configuration, extended warranty (minimum three to five years depending on equipment class), and on-site maintenance with next-day response including parts and labor. Training and instruction services are included in vendor scope. The city accepts refurbished equipment and requires product literature submission on request.
