UNSPSC 43222610: Network service concentrators or hubs

Hardware device that contains multiple independent but connected modules of network and internetwork equipment. Can be active (where they repeat signals sent through them) or passive (where they do not repeat, but merely split, signals sent through them). In Ethernet and IEEE 802.3, an Ethernet multiport repeater. Can be synonymous to a hub.

UNSPSC 43222610 Network service concentrators or hubs is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure network infrastructure equipment—including managed switches, routers, hubs, and related connectivity hardware—that consolidate data traffic and enable communication across distributed computing environments. Recent solicitations show buyers acquiring everything from enterprise-grade Cisco and Juniper switching platforms for core network replacement through edge-device upgrades at field sites, including fiber transceivers, power supplies, and rack-mounting hardware to support traffic management systems, stadium Wi-Fi networks, and agency-wide network modernization initiatives. Issuing bodies span county IT departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Wake County, North Carolina; Jackson County, Georgia), independent school districts (Garland ISD, Texas; Bergen Community College, New Jersey; Pinellas County Schools, Florida), state departments (State of Texas for LAN equipment; Texas Department of Transportation), cities (City of Atlanta, City of Eugene, City of Ocala, City of Palo Alto), and special-purpose districts (Atlanta Beltline). A handful of jurisdictions appear multiple times: the City of Ocala has posted several ITBs for routers and fiber hardware; the State of Texas and Texas Department of Transportation each hold multiple active procurements for networking gear; and Garland ISD and Bergen Community College each issued on-call or renewal contracts for network cabling and equipment services.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest, with significant secondary activity in North Carolina, New Jersey, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's sealed-bid procurement (due October 29, 2026) for HP file servers and peripheral equipment on an annual contract with authorized resellers; Garland Independent School District's RFP (due November 10, 2026) for Metropolitan Area Network and Wide Area Network equipment and services; the City of Orlando's RFP 26-0578 (due October 20, 2026, now extended from the original October 27 date, with mandatory pre-proposal conference already held September 23, 2026) for converged network system design and installation at Camping World Stadium supporting a July 2027 operational deadline; Jackson County Board of Commissioners' proposal request (due July 2, 2026) for Cisco enterprise-class switch and router replacement with professional services, including equipment staging, migration, and training; and Bergen Community College's on-call network cabling RFP (due November 4, 2026) covering moves, adds, removes, and changes to Category 6 cabling across three New Jersey campuses through December 2028. The code also captures TxDOT blanket-purchase orders for MOXA field switches and SFP transceivers, Chatham County Sheriff's hardware-only bid for Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches, and specialized infrastructure work such as Texas Department of Transportation's procurement for fully equipped remote network control units with cellular backup. Geographic concentration—particularly Texas and Georgia—reflects both the scale of state agency procurement and the volume of county and municipal IT modernization initiatives underway as of mid-2026.
