UNSPSC 43211601: Computer switch boxes

A docking station is a hardware frame and set of electrical connection interfaces that enable a notebook computer to effectively serve as a desktop computer. Allows the notebook to communicate with a local printer, storage or backup drives, network interface and has an expansion base for floppy and CD-ROM or DVD drives.

UNSPSC 43211601 Computer switch boxes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure networking infrastructure and related IT hardware to support enterprise operations across departments, school systems, and specialized facilities. Recent solicitations show that this code captures both branded network switches (such as Cisco IT switches for airport infrastructure) and broader technology parts procurement vehicles that bundle switches with related equipment and labor under term contracts serving multiple departments simultaneously. The issuing bodies include county governments, public school districts, and airport authorities, reflecting the distributed nature of IT infrastructure needs across different classes of public sector operators.

Activity under the code concentrates in Virginia and Wisconsin, with recent solicitations from Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government (RFP 2000004422 posted August 14, 2026, due September 8, 2026, establishing a term contract for technology parts, equipment, and labor across both entities) and Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (ITB ITB2026CISCOITSWITCHESNOALTERNATIVESALLOWED posted July 14, 2026, due July 28, 2026, for Cisco IT switches with no alternatives permitted). The Fairfax solicitation treats computer switches as part of a comprehensive technology procurement vehicle, while the Milwaukee airport opportunity targets a specific branded product with rigid specification requirements. A third opportunity from Illinois (ITB 26551HDAINFOTB52967, due June 15, 2026) lacks sufficient issuing-body and scope detail to characterize reliably.
