UNSPSC 43223302: Datacom label

UNSPSC 43223302 Datacom label is a Commodity code covering labeled networking and telecommunications equipment that state and local governments procure for infrastructure modernization, facility connectivity upgrades, and operational system replacements. Recent solicitations show active demand for specific hardware categories: file servers and peripheral equipment (memory, hard drives, network cards, modems, scanners) purchased on annual or multi-year contracts with volume pricing; managed network switches and routing infrastructure serving traffic management systems, campus connectivity, and enterprise data centers; specialized remote network control units with cellular backup for transportation operations; and single-source or OEM-restricted purchases of brands including HP, Cisco, MOXA, Palo Alto, Nutanix, and F5 BIG-IP systems. Issuing bodies span county information technology departments (Gwinnett County, Wake County, Chatham County, Jackson County in Georgia and North Carolina), independent school districts (Garland ISD, Northside ISD in Texas; Kern County Superintendent of Schools in California), state departments (Texas Department of Transportation, California Department of Education), cities (Orlando, Philadelphia, Ocala, Atlanta, Palo Alto, Eugene), and transit authorities (City of Ocala utility services). Most contracts are structured as sealed ITBs or RFPs with firm pricing, authorized dealer or channel-partner requirements, and compliance certifications (E-Verify, insurance, tax exemptions).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (TxDOT, state DIR contracts, Garland and Northside ISDs, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), Florida (Gwinnett County Georgia just outside Florida; Ocala, Orlando, Hillsborough County, Clay County, Broward County), Georgia (Jackson County, Atlanta), and California (state procurement, Palo Alto, Kern County). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners seeking HP ProLiant DL380 G12 servers and peripherals on an annual contract with October 29, 2026 response deadline (ITB); Jackson County, Georgia requesting Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches and professional migration services with July 2, 2026 proposals due (RFP); Garland Independent School District issuing RFP 510-27-02 for MAN and WAN equipment with November 10, 2026 deadline; Texas Department of Transportation soliciting MOXA managed field switches and SFP transceivers under blanket purchase order 601440000053527 with August 14, 2026 closing; and City of Ocala requesting 1,000 wireless beacon routers (ADTRAN SDG 8733) with local-vendor preference eligibility under ITB OFN/260758A. Cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7, Axia Cooperative, NASPO, purchasing cooperatives in Texas) appear frequently as aggregation mechanisms for multi-agency awards. Contract durations typically run one to four years with optional renewal periods; performance bonds, insurance (general liability $1–2 million, workers' compensation, cyber liability for large infrastructure projects), and compliance certifications are standard. Pricing is commonly requested as percentage discounts off state master contracts or fixed unit costs with freight prepaid and included.
