UNSPSC 43222827: Multiplexer or MUX

A type of device that may transmit and receive independent signal with a number of individuals by dividing a line or transmission line by using the multiplexing technology.

UNSPSC 43222827 Multiplexer or MUX is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure networking equipment, primarily Cisco multiplexers and related infrastructure components, often as part of larger IT and telecommunications system deployments. The recent opportunity record shows little alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual recent solicitations tagged under it. Wake County's IT Department issued an RFP for Cisco networking equipment in June 2026, specifying hardware to be sourced exclusively through authorized Cisco Channel Partners and delivered to the Wake County Office Building in Raleigh by July 10, 2026; however, the other recent opportunities in the code—including the Texas Department of Information Resources' indefinite-quantity contract for wireless, pager, and satellite services (TEX-AN-WPS), Sourcewell's cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement, Jacksonville Transportation Authority's transportation planning and conference room technology services, Valencia College's classroom technology integration, Inland Empire Health Plan's data abstraction and NLP software solution, and JTA's project management information system procurement—represent distinct commodity families (telecommunications services, law enforcement equipment, marketing consulting, audiovisual systems, software platforms, and project management software) that do not fall within the multiplexer equipment scope.

Wake County represents the primary state or local issuing body with identifiable recent multiplexer-related activity under this code. The single relevant recent opportunity shows North Carolina as the active jurisdiction, with the procurement limited to specified Cisco equipment, new in original packaging, with freight and shipping included in quoted price, payment on Net 30 terms, and bid validity of 60 days from opening. The mismatch between the code's declared scope and the bulk of recent opportunities tagged to it suggests either classification drift in the state and local procurement systems or that this code does not currently capture sufficient activity to represent a reliable market signal for multiplexer procurement at the state and local level.
