UNSPSC 43202103: Multimedia storage holders

A steel storage cabinet with large capacity and a central locking system. Cabinets can be bolted together vertically when stacked and horizontally when side by side. It is designed to store CD/CD-ROM, audio cassettes, VHS video Cassettes or 3.5 floppy discs and other media.

UNSPSC 43202103 Multimedia storage holders is a Commodity code that in practice covers portable digital storage devices—USB flash drives, portable hard drives, and related physical media—that state and local governments procure for internal IT operations and end-user distribution. Recent solicitations show that purchasing extends beyond bare hardware to bundled service requirements: the City of Philadelphia's August 2026 RFQ for USB flash drives and portable hard drives mandates vendor-provided installation, configuration, extended warranty (minimum three to five years depending on device class), next-day on-site maintenance post-warranty, and training services, all delivered to designated loading docks with no drop-ship option. The code sees activity from city procurement offices and school districts. The City of Philadelphia and Austin Independent School District represent the issuing bodies in the recent record, indicating that both municipal departments and independent school districts use the code for routine IT supply acquisition.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Pennsylvania based on recent postings. The City of Philadelphia issued a requirements-contract RFQ (B2727762) with a response deadline of August 21, 2026, and Austin Independent School District issued a competitive quotation request (27QTE015) due June 25, 2026. Both solicitations prioritize cost-effective pricing and timely delivery; neither specifies contract value or incumbent vendor. The Philadelphia opportunity explicitly permits refurbished equipment and applies no Local Business Entity set-aside, though vendors must respond to LBE certification questions to proceed with submission through PHLContracts.
