UNSPSC 43211622: I/O port locking device

A device that physically locks and unlocks the I/O ports or network cables of computer equipment, such as network equipment and computers, for security purposes.

UNSPSC 43211622 I/O port locking device is a Commodity code representing physical security hardware that state and local governments procure to restrict unauthorized access to computer input/output ports and prevent data theft or malware introduction through peripheral connections. State and local procurement records show minimal recent activity directly aligned with this Commodity code; the most recent opportunity tagged under this classification (Solicitation 7149, posted by an Ohio entity on July 16, 2026, due July 24, 2026) identifies only a broad commodity category—Computer Hardware and Peripheral Devices—without naming the specific issuing body, scope details, quantities, budget, or evaluation criteria necessary to characterize the actual work being solicited. The lack of substantive recent opportunities under this code suggests either narrow or sporadic procurement demand, or that state and local buyers are tagging I/O security devices under broader hardware or cybersecurity categories rather than this specific Commodity classification.

Without recent representative solicitations that clearly scope I/O port locking device procurements, the buying pattern and geographic concentration cannot be reliably characterized. Buyers pursuing this code should monitor for RFQs and ITBs from state IT departments, county information services divisions, and large school districts with aging computer refresh cycles or heightened cybersecurity mandates, particularly in regions with active enterprise security initiatives. This code's low visibility in recent state and local posting activity warrants a watch-and-wait posture unless your firm has an existing relationship with a jurisdiction known to standardize on port-locking protocols.
