UNSPSC 43211715: Portable data input terminals

Portable data terminals are small, lightweight data terminals designed for flexible, single-hand operation and built for unmatched durability. These terminals are ideal for a wide range of data tracking applications.

These terminals can have the features like Small, lightweight contoured form factor which rests easily in the users hand, Configurable layout with multiple keyboards and display choices, High performance scan module with 180 degree rotation for aiming front, left or right, decodes standard range of 1D bar codes, Rechargeable battery option provides longer life for full-shift capabilities.

UNSPSC 43211715 Portable data input terminals, a Commodity code, encompasses rugged tablets and mobile computing devices that state and local governments procure for field operations, education, and data collection. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying devices with specific technical requirements—hardened construction, multi-touch displays, Windows or iOS operating systems, wireless connectivity, and bundled accessories such as docking stations, charging systems, and protective cases. The code captures procurement of the hardware units themselves plus associated peripherals and warranty or support services necessary to field-deploy mobile terminals.

Issuing bodies under this code include K-12 school districts and state departments of health and information resources. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posted an Invitation to Quote in April 2026 for 42 TekVision 10-inch Celeron Tablets with 2D scan modules and dock station chargers, specifying Intel Celeron N5105 processor, 8GB memory, 128GB SSD storage, Windows 11, IP 65 and MIL-STD-810G certification, with response deadline April 15, 2026. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued a statewide cooperative purchasing RFO in 2021 for Apple tablets and related services across multiple state agencies and local entities, with historical sales data showing $949.35 million in combined statewide Apple product procurement from fiscal years 2018 through mid-2021. Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest; recent opportunities originate from Florida, Texas, and South Dakota state agencies. The code shows active procurement for educational technology initiatives and enterprise health data platform development, though some recent opportunities tagged under this code involve broader software platforms (South Dakota's Rural Health Data Atlas) or CAD systems (Washington Military Department's CAD-to-CAD interoperability platform) that diverge materially from portable terminal hardware acquisition, suggesting inconsistent code application within state procurement systems.
