UNSPSC 43211913: LCD active display

Active matrix display uses a grid of transistors and capacitors for improved image quality. Passive matrix depends on a non dynamic conductive grid to supply current, resulting in a lesser level of image quality.

UNSPSC 43211913 LCD active display is a Commodity code representing tablet and mobile computing devices with LCD touchscreen displays procured by state and local education, public health, and technology agencies. State and local governments buy these devices primarily as rugged, purpose-built tablets for field operations, classroom use, and data visualization environments—often bundled with docking stations, protective cases, and extended warranties. Recent solicitations show schools acquiring multi-unit batches of Windows-based tablets with specific processor and memory minimums, while state health and emergency-services agencies are procuring displays as components of larger data platforms and interoperability systems rather than as standalone consumer tablets.

Issuing bodies span school districts, state departments of health and public safety, and municipal utilities. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted an ITQ on April 6, 2026 (due April 15, 2026) for 42 TekVision Poseidon 10-inch Celeron tablets with 8GB memory, 128GB SSD, and 10-point capacitive multi-touch displays; the South Dakota Department of Health's August 2026 RFP for a Rural Health Data Atlas platform includes LCD display and visualization requirements as part of a cloud-based analytics system; and the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia solicited SCADA system upgrades (June 2026, due June 30) with display components for water-system monitoring. The Washington Military Department's June 2026 CAD-to-CAD interoperability RFP (due July 30, 2026) and the Texas Department of Information Resources' Apple products contract (posted July 2026, due November 2021) show state IT agencies acquiring tablet devices, though the latter includes legacy posting data. Geographic concentration reflects recent activity in Florida, South Dakota, Georgia, Washington, and Texas; the code shows moderate state-agency and school-district participation rather than widespread municipal demand.
