UNSPSC 43202211: Platters or disks

It is the surface on which data is stored.

UNSPSC 43202211 Platters or disks, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract activity posted under this classification. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code center on telecommunications equipment, cabling services, and computer hardware—headsets and adapters, telephone systems, network infrastructure, and IT devices—rather than optical media or data storage platters. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a narrow interpretation of "platters" that does not reflect current procurement practice.

Across the nine recent opportunities in the dataset, issuing bodies include a Florida county (Broward County), state departments (South Dakota, Mississippi, Texas), a large school district (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa), a major city (Charlotte, North Carolina), and a district school system (District of Columbia). A representative recent solicitation is Broward County's July 2, 2026 IFB for Plantronics and JPL headsets and accessories (GEN2132410B1, due July 17, 2026), an open-end indefinite-quantity contract for communications equipment serving county 911 dispatch centers and regional technology offices with SBE and local-business preferences and no guaranteed minimum. Activity clusters in Florida (Broward County and Hillsborough County Public Schools) and across several states, with no strong geographic concentration visible in the sample. The code shows material recent procurement velocity—nine solicitations across a three-month window—but the scope is telecommunications and IT infrastructure, not optical media or storage disks.
