UNSPSC 43232604: Computer aided design CAD software

Computer aided design software is a software used to design various engineering, architectural, and industrial objects.

UNSPSC 43232604 Computer aided design CAD software, Commodity, covers dispatch management systems, educational platforms, and specialized design tools that state and local governments procure to digitalize operations, improve public service delivery, and support infrastructure planning. Recent solicitations show transit agencies, counties, and school districts purchasing CAD/AVL (Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location) systems for emergency response and transit operations, assessment platforms for K-12 testing and data management, case management systems for municipal courts, and specialized design or data management software. Broward County Transit is actively developing a Bus Rapid Transit program with planned procurement for a CAD/AVL system through a competitive RFP following an industry day scheduled for July 30, 2026; White County, Georgia issued an RFP on May 22, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for a modern, GOVCLOUD-based CAD system for 911 communications with mandatory pre-bid attendance; and Marion County, Florida sought MapImport Utility and Geofile CrossReference Module licenses to interface its 911 mapping system with an existing TriTech CAD platform through a May 7, 2026 solicitation. Issuing bodies span county emergency communications departments, transit authorities, school districts, and municipal governments, with repeat activity in Florida (Broward County, Marion County), Georgia (White County, DeKalb County School District), and smaller instances in other jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration of recent activity appears in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Washington State, Arizona, California, and South Carolina. Broward County Transit's CAD/AVL procurement represents the most visible current opportunity, with formal RFP issuance anticipated following the July 2026 industry day and a stated $1 billion investment in transportation infrastructure over the next decade. White County's 911 CAD procurement, evaluated on a 100-point scale emphasizing total five-year cost of ownership and software capabilities over lowest price, closes June 26, 2026. Marion County's specialized interface software procurement (due May 14, 2026) exemplifies the narrower commodity-level work—vendor-specific module licensing—that sits beneath broader platform implementations. School districts and transit authorities drive most visible activity in this code, though the recent opportunities block shows significant divergence from the code's abstract name, with many entries tagged under 43232604 addressing assessment platforms, legislative management systems, and other software that falls outside traditional CAD design scope.
