UNSPSC 43211707: Light stylus

A light stylus for computers is an input device used to write text or draw lines on a surface using light. Used for graphics applications, such as CAD/CAM, where the stylus is attached to an electronically-sensitive tablet.

UNSPSC 43211707 Light stylus is a Commodity code representing single-product procurement of styluses and stylus-like input devices by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent opportunities show a marked mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. The nine opportunities tagged under this code predominantly involve risk management software systems, X-ray screening equipment, proximity readers, storage hardware, laptop computers, and construction services—none of which are styluses. Only three solicitations involve stylus-adjacent procurement: Gwinnett County's purchase of 250,000 disposable styluses for voting systems (capacitive-touch compatible with Dominion Voting BMD touchscreen systems, bilingual English/Spanish printing, fixed two-phase delivery by October 23, 2026 at $0.08 per unit); DeKalb County's request for E-Poll Book Encoder Stabilizer Brackets for PollPad electronic poll books; and the City of Philadelphia's request for electronic signature pads with inside delivery and full installation included. The issuing bodies are scattered across county purchasing divisions, state departments, airports, school systems, and municipal procurement offices with no repeat buyer pattern.

Geographic activity is confined to three states with minimal recent volume: Georgia (Gwinnett County disposable styluses and DeKalb County brackets, both September–October 2026), California (State of California electronic signature devices and various unrelated hardware, August–October 2026), and Florida (Broward County risk management and aviation systems, Philadelphia citywide electronic signature pads). The code shows little coherent market activity and appears to be a collection-point for misclassified procurements rather than a meaningful commodity family for stylus supply. Viable opportunities under the code's actual scope are limited: the Gwinnett County disposable-stylus RFQ (IWQ 139434, due October 5, 2026, 250,000 units at $0.08 per stylus delivered by October 23, 2026) and the City of Philadelphia electronic signature pad quote (B2627117, due May 18, 2026, requiring inside delivery and installation). No evidence of repeat procurement cycles, standing contracts, or set-aside programs specific to stylus supply exists in the recent record.
