UNSPSC 43211730: Data acquisition system

An instrumentation system that may make analysis and control on computer for the data acquired from measuring instrument and the signal from sensor.

UNSPSC 43211730 Data acquisition system (Commodity) covers equipment and systems used by state and local governments to collect, monitor, and control operational data across infrastructure and technology environments. The recent solicitations under this code show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work state and local buyers are tagging it with. The Texas Department of Information Resources is soliciting Apple products and related services (hardware, software, peripherals, installation, warranty, and managed services), the Florida Department of Transportation is requesting information on camera sensor systems for high-speed vehicle data collection, and the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia is seeking SCADA system equipment upgrades and integration services for water system monitoring and control. The issuing bodies span state departments, municipalities, and transit authorities; repeating buyers under this code are not evident from the recent record. Scope of work actually being requested includes enterprise technology procurement (computers and accessories), specialized sensor and imaging systems for transportation data collection, and infrastructure control and telemetry systems for utilities.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Georgia based on recent postings. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued an RFO (DIR-CPO-TMP-561) for Apple Branded Products and Related Services with a response deadline of November 19, 2021, targeting a two-year contract term with optional renewals and historical statewide annual spending of $949.35 million on Apple products across state agencies, local governments, and higher education. The Florida Department of Transportation issued an RFI (RFI16191) on camera sensor systems for high-speed vehicle data collection with a response deadline extended to July 10, 2026, to inform future competitive procurements. The City of Flowery Branch issued an RFP (PE66241NONST2026000000029) for SCADA system equipment upgrade and maintenance services with proposals due June 30, 2026, a mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 3, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward experience (30 points), past performance (30 points), and local service capability (30 points).
