UNSPSC 43211615: Notebook computer expansion dock

An add-on for notebook computers to deliver high-performance capabilities for multimedia applications, it increases the number of ports of the notebook computer to those of a normal computer (USB ports, printer or video ports etc)

UNSPSC 43211615 Notebook computer expansion dock, a Commodity code, describes docking stations and peripheral attachment hardware for portable computers that state and local governments purchase to extend connectivity and functionality at fixed workstations. However, the recent opportunities tagged with this code show little activity aligned with notebook expansion docks themselves. Instead, the tagged solicitations center on enterprise network infrastructure—switches, firewalls, wireless access points, fiber cabling, UPS systems, and data center equipment—across school districts, municipalities, counties, and state agencies. The code appears to be either miscategorized in the posting system or represents a legacy classification that has drifted from current procurement intent.

The issuing bodies are predominantly K–12 school districts (Tacoma, Sarasota, Bibb County, Grosse Pointe, Alcorn, Houston County, Hays Consolidated, Gwinnett County public schools, Valencia College, Hillsborough County Schools, Pinellas County Schools) and municipal / county IT departments (City of Eugene, City of Atlanta, Wake County, Jackson County, Seminole County, City of Philadelphia, City of Palo Alto, Orange County Florida, Broward County, Gordon County Schools, Fayette County Schools). The activity spans California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, New York, Connecticut, North Carolina, and Washington. Geographic concentration appears highest in Georgia and Florida, where school districts are undertaking significant E-Rate–funded network modernization. Recent representative solicitations include Hillsborough County Schools requesting a Cisco Meraki Enterprise License Agreement with an estimated budget around $10.3 million for 36 months (ITB 26045ITBDST, due February 22, 2026); Bibb County Schools issuing RFP 26-029 for switch upgrades across 45 locations with E-Rate funding (due March 2, 2026); and Jackson County, Georgia seeking Cisco network switching and routing equipment replacement with professional services (RFP due July 2, 2026). The code shows sustained activity but no recent opportunities actually soliciting notebook docking stations or similar portable-computer peripherals.
