UNSPSC 43202000: Removable storage media

Storage media designed to be removed from the read or write device.

UNSPSC 43202000 Removable storage media is a Class code that in recent state and local practice encompasses ink and toner supply distribution to educational institutions serving multiple campuses and administrative sites. The code appears in procurement activity from school districts and higher-education systems sourcing consumable printing supplies on a recurring basis. Austin Independent School District's June 2026 RFQ for ink and toner supplies illustrates the primary scope — quotation-based procurement of high-quality cartridges and related products to meet ongoing operational demand across distributed facilities, with emphasis on product authenticity, timely delivery, and cost control. The issuing-body mix centers on school districts and community colleges managing printing infrastructure across multiple locations.

Recent activity locates in Texas and Florida, with Austin Independent School District (Travis County) and Valencia College District Board of Trustees (Florida) both active in mid-2026. Valencia College's April 2026 RFP for classroom and conference room technology services—while nominally tagged to removable storage media—does not represent core procurement under this code; that solicitation encompasses integrated audiovisual and control systems, with optional contract terms extending up to five years and anticipated annual spending of $1.6 million. The Austin ISD quotation (RFQ 27QTE015, due June 25, 2026) remains the clearer representative opportunity, though no contract value, incumbent vendor, or award timeline appear in available materials. The code shows limited recent posting frequency; opportunities appear episodic rather than continuous across jurisdictions.
