Framework holds a single MA-L block — 9C:BF:0D — registered as "Framework Computer Inc." at 447 Sutter St PMB 135, San Francisco, California. These OUIs relate to its modular and repairable laptops (Framework Laptop 13 and 16) and mainboards. Framework is a young company founded in January 2020. The key analyst point is the brand-vs-module distinction: Framework laptops use standard Wi-Fi modules (Intel, MediaTek, or Realtek), so the Wi-Fi MAC usually surfaces under the module vendor's OUI, and the official Framework Ethernet Expansion Card uses a Realtek RTL8156 controller — meaning its Ethernet MAC commonly appears under Realtek, not under Framework's 9C:BF:0D. Framework's own OUI footprint is therefore minimal. For triage, a Framework OUI is rare; most network identifiers from a Framework laptop surface under Intel or MediaTek (Wi-Fi) or Realtek (Ethernet card), so don't expect "Framework" to label the device in ARP/DHCP.

- Special note
- Brand-vs-module distinction. Framework laptops use standard Wi-Fi modules (Intel/MediaTek/Realtek), so the Wi-Fi MAC usually surfaces under the module vendor; the official Framework Ethernet Expansion Card uses a Realtek RTL8156, so its Ethernet MAC commonly appears under Realtek, not Framework. The IEEE registry publishes no assignment dates, so none is stated here. [Confirmed]
