UNSPSC 43201818: Digital video disc DVD drive

UNSPSC 43201818 Digital video disc DVD drive is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity tagged under it in recent state and local solicitations. The Orange County, California Public Libraries system issued an RFP in May 2026 for physical materials in multiple formats—hardcover and paperback books, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, music CDs, audiobooks on CD, and Playaway devices—with comprehensive cataloging and physical processing services included as part of the scope. The County of Orange Community Resources department structured this as a five-year firm fixed-fee usage contract with no guaranteed minimum order quantities, pricing submitted on a per-unit basis with discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price, and local small business and disabled veteran business enterprise preference incentives. The remaining recent opportunities posted under this code—a District of Columbia Surface Pro device procurement, a Valencia College classroom technology services RFP encompassing projectors and control systems, and a Jacksonville Transportation Authority project management software solicitation—bear no relation to DVD drives or physical media distribution. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

No state and local procurement activity in the source block reflects current demand for standalone DVD drives or DVD drive sales to public libraries, school districts, transit authorities, or other state or local issuing bodies. The single substantively related opportunity, Orange County's library materials RFP, treats DVDs as one format among many within a broader library collection and services contract, not as equipment purchases. The code should be marked for inactive or misaligned tagging in state and local procurement systems.
