UNSPSC 43211513: Ultra mobile personal computer

A hybrid device that is a cross between a PDA and Tablet computer. What makes the ultra mobile PC (UMPC) unique is that it relies on a full operating system like Windows or Linux instead of standard PDA operating systems like Palm and Pocket PC. The UMPC can be considered an additional tool for mobile computing instead of a PDA replacement. It was developed as a joint development exercise between Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung, among others.

UNSPSC 43211513 Ultra mobile personal computer is a Commodity code that spans portable, consumer-grade computing devices state and local governments purchase for mobile workforces, field operations, and specialized deployments. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, and state agencies acquiring Windows laptops, Chromebooks, rugged field tablets, and specialized configurations for administrative, instructional, and operational use. The work being solicited ranges from standard Dell and Lenovo business laptops at volume to specialized rugged devices for correctional and field-service environments, with vendors typically providing device configuration, warranty coverage including accidental damage protection, provisioning, asset management integration, and multi-year maintenance. Issuing bodies span K–12 school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; Columbia County, Madison County, Smith County, and DeSoto County school districts in the South; Temple ISD in Texas; Glascock County Consolidated School System in Georgia), county governments and departments (Collin County Information Technology in Texas; Pasco County in Florida; Sauk County in Wisconsin), state procurement offices (California; District of Columbia; Texas), and specialized jurisdictions including correctional systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice; Sauk County Jail in Wisconsin). School districts and county IT departments appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunity block.

Geographic concentration clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, California, and the District of Columbia, with additional activity in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's IFB 2026-390 (October 15, 2026 response date) for Dell-branded laptops and peripherals including specialized rugged devices and mobile data computers with five-year manufacturer warranty covering accidental damage, estimated at $1.2 million annually; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26376RFPDST (October 7, 2026 response date) for approximately 13,000 teacher Windows devices and mixed student Windows and Chromebook orders from an estimated $34 million annual budget (29.41% Title I–funded, 70.59% state and local), requiring primary and secondary contractor awards; Columbia County School District's RFP TC-10-21-2026 (October 21, 2026 response date) for 30 gaming computers with integrated 27-inch QHD monitors and RTX graphics; Smith County School District's reverse auction (July 9, 2026 event date) for 600 HP 11-inch Chromebooks at $420 per unit cap with three-year warranties; and Sauk County Jail's RFP 202601SCJ (August 26, 2026 response date) for 197 inmate tablets integrated with kiosks and telephone systems across an eight-unit facility. California continues to issue brand-only RFBs for state cooperative purchasing on standardized equipment (GETAC IT hardware, ASUS Chromebox, AMD docking stations). Activity remains steady with multiple solicitations monthly; school districts drive volume demand, while county IT departments and specialized agencies (corrections, field operations) represent smaller, higher-specification orders.
