UNSPSC 43222644: Network traffic controller

Equipment that supports the limited resources to efficiently use by applying the data compression, traffic and bandwidth management technology from the network communication.

UNSPSC 43222644 Network traffic controller is a Commodity code representing hardware and equipment devices that manage, switch, and route data traffic across networks—specifically the managed switches, routers, controllers, and related edge and core networking equipment that state and local governments procure to build, maintain, and upgrade their IT infrastructure. State and local procurement offices use this code to tag purchases of network switching and routing hardware, often bundled with professional services for installation, configuration, and technical support. The issuing bodies span county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Chatham County, Georgia; Wake County, North Carolina; Jackson County, Georgia; Orange County, Florida; Seminole County, Florida), independent school districts (Garland ISD, Texas; Bergen Community College, New Jersey; Pinellas County Schools, Florida), cities (Atlanta, Orlando, Philadelphia, Stamford, Eugene, Palo Alto, Tucson, Norwich), transit and airport authorities (City of Atlanta Department of Aviation), and state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation, Florida Department of Transportation, State of Texas, State of California). Recent solicitations show network switching and routing equipment procurement concentrating around enterprise-class Cisco Catalyst switches and routers, managed Layer 2 field switches for traffic management systems, and fiber optics and cabling infrastructure supporting data center and wide-area network upgrades.

Recent activity spans Texas (TxDOT MOXA networking equipment, Garland ISD MAN/WAN equipment, State of Texas LAN equipment), Florida (Pinellas County Schools ERCES systems, Ocala wireless routers and fiber hardware, City of Orlando Camping World Stadium CNS design and installation, Florida Department of Transportation traffic equipment and LiDAR), Georgia (Gwinnett County file servers and peripherals, Jackson County Cisco switching and routing, Atlanta Department of Aviation switch replacement), North Carolina (Wake County Cisco equipment), Connecticut (Stamford traffic signal and video management installation), New Jersey (Bergen County and Bergen Community College on-call network cabling), and other jurisdictions with smaller volumes. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid RFP for HP file servers and peripheral equipment (PE77023NONST2027000000788, due October 29, 2026, for an annual contract beginning January 1, 2027 with four-year initial term); Garland ISD's RFP for MAN and WAN equipment and services (RFP 510-27-02, due November 10, 2026); the City of Orlando's RFP for turnkey design and installation of converged network system and Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure at Camping World Stadium (RFP 26-0578, due October 27, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid conference September 23, 2026); Jackson County Board of Commissioners' proposal request for replacement of Cisco network switching and routing equipment with professional services (due July 2, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal conference June 18, 2026); Bergen Community College's on-call network cabling services for Category 6 infrastructure moves, adds, removes, changes, and repairs across three New Jersey campuses (due November 4, 2026, for two-year term commencing December 15, 2026); and the City of Palo Alto's RFQ for approximately 105 network edge switches and 4 core switches to replace aging traffic signal communication equipment (RFQ 194354, due May 20, 2026). Set-asides and preferences appear sporadically: the City of Orlando applies SBE and VBE participation scoring; some offerings reference cooperative purchasing vehicles (e.g., DIR contracts in Texas); and buyback and refurbished-equipment programs feature in used-networking-equipment solicitations. Contract terms typically run one to five years with optional renewal periods. The code shows sustained, diversified procurement activity across multiple issuing bodies and geographic regions, with equipment budgets ranging from under $200,000 to over $6 million for large infrastructure replacements.
