UNSPSC 43211604: Peripheral switch boxes

An integrated circuit designed for high-speed data manipulations and used in audio, communications, image manipulation, and other data-acquisition and data-control applications.

UNSPSC 43211604 Peripheral switch boxes is a Commodity code with minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract definition—peripheral switch boxes for computing or networking infrastructure—does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in recent months. State and local opportunities tagged with 43211604 include door lock replacement services at juvenile detention facilities, screen protector purchases, classroom technology integration services, and general technology parts and equipment procurement—none of which are peripheral switch boxes in the traditional hardware sense. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent or incorrect tagging by issuing bodies, or a broader interpretation of "peripheral switch boxes" in state and local classification that diverges sharply from standard UNSPSC taxonomy. The code shows little relevant recent activity when confined to its nominal scope.

Harris County, Texas; the City of Dallas; Valencia College District in Florida; and Fairfax County Public Schools and Government represent the issuing bodies with tagged opportunities in this code between March and June 2026. Harris County's ITB 26-0121 for door lock replacement services and related items at juvenile detention facilities (due June 15, 2026) is the most concrete recent solicitation, requiring ASSA Mogul cylinder replacements, lock-system assessments, and one-year service agreements with four optional renewal periods. Fairfax County's IFB 2000004307 for technology parts, equipment, and labor (due April 20, 2026) spans 15 product categories across 250+ schools and work sites with a five-year base term and three optional one-year renewals. Valencia College District's RFP 2026-26 for classroom and conference room technology services college-wide (due April 30, 2026) budgets approximately $1.6 million annually and seeks turnkey installation, repair, and servicing across nine campuses. The City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for screen protectors (due April 15, 2026) through its Bonfire Hub platform with no stated budget and strict requirements for new, unopened products. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Florida, with Virginia also active; without confirmed recent activity in other states, pursuit depends on verifying whether your firm's actual product or service aligns with the work these issuing bodies are actually buying rather than the code's nominal definition.
