UNSPSC 43202100: Removable storage media accessories

Accessories designed to house removable storage media.

UNSPSC 43202100 Removable storage media accessories, a Class code, covers hardware maintenance, support renewals, and professional services for enterprise storage systems—including Pure Storage, NetApp, Nutanix, Quantum, and TrueNAS platforms—rather than physical removable media or accessories themselves. State and local procurement activity under this code reveals a vendor ecosystem delivering maintenance contracts, software licensing renewals, hardware support subscriptions, and implementation services for data center infrastructure, all typically structured as competitive bids or RFQs with response windows of two to six weeks. The issuing bodies span state IT departments (California, Texas), county IT offices (Chatham County, Jackson County, Gwinnett County), municipal governments (City of St. Petersburg), school districts (Seminole County), universities (University of Houston, Texas A&M), and regional purchasing cooperatives, with California state IT emerging as the most active and repeat buyer across multiple storage platforms and renewal cycles.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in California (State of California RFBs for Pure Storage maintenance, NetApp A300 support renewal, Nutanix licensing and deployment, Rubrik hardware and services, and TrueNAS storage systems, all posted May–October 2026), Georgia (Chatham County's Quantum DXi T10 procurement with 30% M/WBE participation requirement and 36-month terms; Jackson County network infrastructure; Gwinnett County video storage; Clayton County e-waste disposal), Florida (Seminole County School Board's Pure Storage RC20 implementation with three-year support, pre-bid meeting December 3, 2025; City of St. Petersburg's Pure Storage Evergreen Forever renewal for six 384TB arrays), New Jersey (Bergen County on-call network cabling), and Texas (Texas A&M Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC570 drives, Texas DIR managed network services solicitation with four-year base and optional renewals, and Sourcewell cooperative law-enforcement equipment). California State of California procurement regularly mandates Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status or documentation as a condition of bid participation. Representative recent awards include City of St. Petersburg IFB for Pure Storage support (due August 28, 2026); Seminole County ITB for Pure Storage RC20 with implementation (due December 17, 2025, voluntary pre-bid December 3); Chatham County ITB for Quantum DXi T10 (due September 15, 2026, M/WBE set-aside 30%); California State RFB for Pure Storage maintenance (due October 29, 2026, CBE required); and Texas A&M ITB for Western Digital hard drives (due July 27, 2026).
