UNSPSC 44101724: Multi function upgrades

UNSPSC 44101724 Multi function upgrades (Commodity) represents business-class computing hardware purchases by state and local governments—primarily desktops, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and peripherals—bundled with configuration, imaging, warranty, and accidental damage protection services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county IT departments, city procurement offices, school districts, and state technology agencies. Recent solicitations show a mix of equipment-focused demand (fixed-asset computer replacements for government offices and schools) and service-oriented refresh cycles (configuration, deployment, mobile device management enrollment, and sustained multi-year support contracts). Collin County Information Technology Department is a repeat buyer, issuing an IFB for approximately 600 computers annually across multiple device categories under a three-order-per-year model with five-year warranty coverage and accidental damage protection. Hillsborough County Public Schools solicited an RFP for laptop and desktop devices in bulk—13,000 teacher Windows devices, 1,000 student Windows devices, and 2,500 student Chromebooks in Year 1 alone—with estimated annual spending of $34 million and a three-year initial contract term. Smaller school districts such as Troup County (2,000–2,300 Chromebooks) and Bibb County (as-needed Dell purchases) also contribute to activity under this code, suggesting fragmented demand across multiple education jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. Collin County's IFB (posted October 15, 2026, due October 15, 2026) requires Dell Platinum or Titanium reseller status and mandates firm-fixed markup percentages applied to authorized equipment, with pass-through of manufacturer discounts and promotional pricing. Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP (posted October 12, 2026, due October 7, 2026) covers Windows laptops, desktops, Chromebooks, and specialized configurations across 235 school sites, with a required 35-point specification/scope score and qualifications weighting 25 of 100 points. The City of Philadelphia requested quotes for 10 MacBook Pro computers with AppleCare and external hard drives (due October 21, 2026) under its Office Automation Program with LBE certification screening. Troup County School System's RFP for Chromebook devices (due June 26, 2026) weighted cost at 50 points and locked pricing through July 31, 2026. Gwinnett County Public Schools issued a sealed-bid RFP for Chromebooks effective June 19, 2026 through June 18, 2027, renewable for up to four additional one-year periods, requiring HP and Lenovo certified resellers. The Texas Department of Information Resources' statewide RFO for Apple Branded Products and Related Services (closed November 19, 2021, but solicited under the same code family) showed historical combined statewide sales of $949.35 million across all authorized entities, suggesting sustained scale at the state aggregation level.
