UNSPSC 43211805: Service kits for storage devices

This service kit includes repalcement parts of a storage device and may even contain necessary associated tools in the same package.

UNSPSC 43211805 Service kits for storage devices is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of maintenance support subscriptions, hardware replacement kits, and professional services for enterprise storage arrays—Pure Storage, NetApp, Quantum, Nutanix, and Dell EMC systems dominate the recent solicitation activity. State procurement offices issue the majority of opportunities; California Department of Information Resources leads with multiple RFBs for Pure Storage and NetApp maintenance renewal and support services. Counties, school districts, and universities round out the issuing-body mix: Seminole County Schools (Florida) solicited a Pure Storage Flash Array RC20 with implementation services; Chatham County (Georgia) bid two separate procurements for Quantum DXi T10 backup and disaster recovery systems; the City of St. Petersburg (Florida) requested Evergreen Forever Support Subscriptions for six Pure Storage arrays; Gwinnett County (Georgia) solicited a QNAP video shared storage solution with associated hardware kits and licensing; and the University of Houston sought enterprise storage to replace legacy arrays. Scope of work centers on multiyear support renewals for installed infrastructure—maintenance, rapid-response protocols, service-level agreements, and equipment replacement—rather than new-build storage procurement, reflecting the installed base of advanced storage systems across state IT operations and local government data centers.

Georgia saw two identical Chatham County Quantum DXi T10 ITBs (due 15 September 2026) with a 30% combined M/WBE participation goal and a Gwinnett County RFQ for video storage (due 10 August 2026).
