UNSPSC 43211602: Docking stations

A port replicator is similar to a docking station but does not include expansion slots. A port replicator is an attachment for a notebook computer that allows a printer, monitor, and keyboard to be simultaneously connected. The port replicator duplicates all of the notebook's ports,and may provide specific ports for joysticks and MIDI devices.

UNSPSC 43211602 Docking stations is a Commodity code that encompasses hardware devices enabling connectivity between portable electronics and stationary infrastructure, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments solicit under this code through school districts, county governments, and municipal authorities, but the recent opportunities block reveals a significant mismatch: the identified solicitations address classroom technology integration, door lock replacement services, screen protectors, and general technology parts and labor — none of which center on docking stations as discrete hardware. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government, Valencia College District in Florida, Harris County in Texas, and the City of Dallas have posted technology-related procurements in the March through June 2026 window, but these are primarily full-service technology support contracts, facility infrastructure work, and consumable purchases rather than docking-station procurement.

The geographic spread includes Texas (Harris County, City of Dallas), Florida (Valencia College District), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Illinois (one posting), though the concentration reflects broader technology and facilities management solicitations rather than targeted docking-station demand. The most recent and relevant opportunity is Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004307 for Technology Parts, Equipment, and Labor (due April 20, 2026), which encompasses 15 product categories including digital and wall clocks, electric strikes, batteries, and sensors across 250+ schools and work sites, but again does not isolate docking stations as a primary commodity. Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 for classroom and conference room technology services (due April 30, 2026) includes projectors, control panels, and audio systems but does not name docking stations. The code shows little active demand signal in the recent opportunities record, and the postings tagged to it do not represent a clear procurement category with predictable volume or repeat-buyer patterns.
