UNSPSC 43211901: Cathode ray tube CRT monitors

A cathode-ray tube and associated electronics connected to a computers video output. A monitor may be either monochrome (black and white) or colour (RGB). Colour monitors may show either digital colour (each of the red,green and blue signals may be either on or off, giving eight possible colours: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan,magenta and yellow) or analog colour (red, green and blue signals are continuously variable following any combination to be displayed).

Digital monitors are sometimes known as TTL because the voltages on the red, green and blue inputs are compatible with TTL logic chips.

UNSPSC 43211901 Cathode ray tube CRT monitors is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity for CRT monitors themselves. The seven opportunities in the source span CAD-to-CAD interoperability platforms (Washington Military Department), SCADA system upgrades (City of Flowery Branch, Georgia), enterprise asset management consulting (Collier County, Florida), tablets and tablets accessories (Hillsborough County Public Schools), classroom technology services (Valencia College District), point-of-sale terminals and peripherals (Hillsborough County Public Schools), data center services (Katy Independent School District, Texas), and cold data center infrastructure (Parkway School District, Missouri). None of these solicitations request CRT monitors or related display equipment, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured under it in the current market.

The code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes. CRT technology has been largely obsolete in state and local procurement for more than a decade, having been displaced by LCD, LED, and other modern display formats. If state and local buyers are tagging unrelated opportunities with this code in their procurement systems, the code itself does not signal actionable demand for CRT monitors or related products.
