UNSPSC 43201810: Read only digital versatile disc DVD

A DVD is very similar to a CD in that it is an optical disc data storage medium using a low-powered laser beam to read upto 7GB's of data on a single disc.

UNSPSC 43201810 Read only digital versatile disc DVD is a Commodity code capturing DVDs and related physical media formats that state and local libraries procure as part of public collections. The work involves supplying DVDs alongside companion formats—music CDs and Blu-rays—to serve recreational and educational needs across age groups and language populations in municipal and county library systems. Procurement typically spans bulk purchase of titles for adults, teens, and children, often bundled with cataloging records, physical processing (covering, barcoding, labeling, security tagging), and shelf-ready delivery. Issuing bodies are almost exclusively public library systems operating within county or municipal governments; the code sees little activity beyond library acquisitions, with no meaningful participation from school districts, transit authorities, or state departments in recent opportunities.

Orange County, California (County of Orange Community Resources) and Louisville, Kentucky (Louisville Free Public Library) drove the recent visible activity under the code. Orange County's May 2026 RFP 0123029901JG solicited physical materials for a 30-branch public library system with firm fixed-fee contracts effective September 2026 through five calendar years, pricing structured on a per-unit basis with separate cataloging and processing charges; the solicitation applied a five percent scoring preference for Orange County Local Small Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Louisville Free Public Library's September 2026 RFP 270043 sought music CDs, Blu-rays, and DVDs for adults, teens, and children with a September 18, 2026 proposal deadline. No other states or recent opportunities appear in the record, limiting visibility into geographic concentration; activity to date centers on California and Kentucky.
