UNSPSC 43222600: Network service equipment

Equipment, software, and services for transferring data in a network across standards based protocols

UNSPSC 43222600 Network service equipment is a Class code covering core and edge network switches, wireless access points, managed field switches, fiber optics and transceivers, power supplies, network cabling systems, and converged network infrastructure that state and local governments procure to build, upgrade, and maintain enterprise data communications, traffic management, public assembly venue, and transit agency networks. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, independent school districts, state transportation and information-technology departments, municipal airports, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts including jails and community colleges. Recent activity shows Gwinnett County (Georgia) soliciting HP ProLiant servers and peripheral equipment under an annual contract, Garland Independent School District (Texas) requesting Metropolitan Area Network and Wide Area Network equipment and services, the State of Texas procuring Local Area Network equipment and services, the City of Orlando designing and installing a converged network system and Wi-Fi infrastructure at Camping World Stadium, Bergen Community College (New Jersey) calling for on-call Category 6 network cabling services across three campuses, and multiple Florida counties and municipalities acquiring network switching, routing, wireless, and fiber infrastructure for traffic management systems, broadcast facilities, courtrooms, and general IT operations.

Procurement activity clusters in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California, with secondary volume in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah. Representative recent solicitations include the Gwinnett County IFB for file servers and peripheral equipment (BL146-26, due October 29, 2026), Garland ISD's RFP for MAN and WAN equipment and services (510-27-02, due November 10, 2026), the City of Orlando's RFP for the Camping World Stadium converged network system and Wi-Fi infrastructure design and installation (RFP26-0578, due October 20, 2026), Bergen Community College's on-call network cabling RFP covering moves, adds, removes, changes, and repairs to Category 6 cable plant across three New Jersey campuses (P2426, due November 4, 2026), the MBTA's RFP for network assessment services (RFP 92-26, due August 26, 2026), and the City of Palo Alto's RFQ for approximately 105 edge switches and 4 core switches to replace aging traffic signal communication equipment (RFQ 194354, due May 20, 2026). Bidders must typically be authorized resellers or partners for specified manufacturers (Cisco, HPE Aruba, EtherWAN, Ubiquiti, F5), hold current certifications, provide five-year business experience and comparable references, maintain required insurance including general liability and workers' compensation, and comply with state-specific set-asides where applicable—SBE and VBE participation criteria apply in Florida; HUB and CBE designations govern in Texas and California.
