UNSPSC 43223308: Network system equipment rack

UNSPSC 43223308 Network system equipment rack is a Commodity code covering the supply and installation of networking infrastructure hardware that state and local governments procure to support data communications, traffic management, emergency response, and facility connectivity. Recent state and local solicitations under this code center on core and edge switches, fiber optics, power supplies, wireless access points, and related mounting and cabling infrastructure deployed across airports, courthouses, traffic management centers, county facilities, school districts, and municipal utility systems. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) is pursuing an annual contract for file servers and peripheral equipment under IFB BL146-26, with bids due October 29, 2026, requiring HP ProLiant servers and ancillary network cards and peripherals sourced through Georgia state contract pricing. Jackson County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) seeks proposals for Cisco network switching and routing equipment replacement under RFP PE67800NONST2026000000046, with proposals due July 2, 2026, including new Catalyst 9300 series switches, ASR routers with SD-WAN capabilities, and comprehensive professional services covering assessment, installation, and knowledge transfer. Bergen Community College (New Jersey) is soliciting on-call network cabling services for Category 6 cable plant modifications across three campuses through November 4, 2026, covering installation, termination, and moves-adds-removes-changes-repairs on a two-year term.

The code sees activity across state departments, county governments, cities, school districts, and independent special-purpose districts in Georgia, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and California. Issuing bodies range from county departments of information technology and sheriffs' offices to transit authorities and municipal utilities. The City of Orlando (Florida) solicited design and installation of a converged network system and Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure at Camping World Stadium under RFP 26-0578, with proposals due October 20, 2026, specifying Cisco Catalyst switchgear and minimum 1 Gbps per-port cabling with redundant uplinks and liquidated damages of $100,000 plus $10,000 per day for delay. Wake County (North Carolina) requested Cisco equipment for the Sommerset 2 Building Site under ITB 26074, with bids due July 10, 2026, limited to authorized Cisco Channel Partners and restricted to new, factory-sealed equipment sourced only through Cisco's authorized channels. The City of Palo Alto (California) issued RFQ 194354 for approximately 105 EtherWAN network edge switches, 4 core switches, and 212 fiber transceivers to replace aging traffic signal communication equipment at 102 signalized intersections, with quotes due May 20, 2026. Procurement vehicles include direct competitive bids, cooperative purchasing agreements, and state-level contract piggybacking, with SBE and VBE scoring considerations appearing in select stadium and venue projects. Response-window compression is pronounced — several recent RFQs and RFPs compressed timelines to two to four weeks — signaling urgent infrastructure replacement cycles driven by end-of-life equipment and system modernization initiatives rather than new-build expansion.
