UNSPSC 43232510: Geographic information system

A system which integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information

UNSPSC 43232510 Geographic Information System (Commodity) encompasses mapping, spatial data analysis, cloud hosting, and enterprise GIS platform services that state and local governments use to manage infrastructure, emergency response, planning, and asset tracking. Recent solicitations reveal a diverse mix of GIS applications: Cook County, Illinois is acquiring LiDAR data collection and processing for a 1,322-square-mile area; the Washington Military Department is procuring a vendor-hosted CAD-to-CAD interoperability platform for multi-jurisdictional emergency dispatch; the Orange County Transportation Authority is migrating desktop and enterprise ArcGIS systems to Microsoft Azure; and municipal governments including Union City, Georgia and the Town of Farragut, Tennessee are contracting for ongoing GIS mapping, database management, and analysis services. The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, cities, and special-purpose districts including transportation authorities, school districts, and regional commissions, with repeat activity from Florida jurisdictions (Marion County, Lee County Port Authority, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County Public Schools) and Washington state agencies. The work ranges from software licensing and infrastructure migration to technical consulting, data acquisition, and continuous operational support.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with additional activity in Illinois, Georgia, Colorado, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington Military Department RFP26-012 (due July 30, 2026) for a $3 million to $4.8 million CAD-to-CAD system with 99.999% uptime requirements across five counties; Cook County RFP 2610-01230 (due April 29, 2026) for LiDAR data acquisition covering 1,322 square miles with USGS QL1 standards and 24 percent MBE/WBE participation goals; the Orange County Transportation Authority proposal (due February 9, 2026) for Azure cloud migration and three-year ArcGIS Enterprise management at $380,000 firm fixed price; the City of St. Petersburg RFQ (due May 28, 2026) for multi-year GIS projects including mapping, drone data collection, and web application development; and the Atlanta Regional Commission RFP655 (due June 17, 2026) for resilience and climatological data to support a transportation vulnerability assessment tool, with maximum funding of $86,000. Set-asides appear in Cook County (24 percent MBE/WBE goal), Washington (50-point bonus for veteran-owned businesses, 50-point bonus for Washington small businesses), and Collier County (local vendor and MBE/WBE preferences). The code shows consistent demand for specialized expertise—ArcGIS Enterprise administration, cloud platform engineering, LiDAR processing, and NIEM/APCO/NENA standards compliance for emergency dispatch systems.
