UNSPSC 43232608: Industrial control software

Industrial control software is a software that controls, configures and monitors intelligent industrial control devices by operation from a computer or microprocessor.

UNSPSC 43232608 Industrial control software (Commodity) covers enterprise platforms for IT service management, accessibility remediation, student assessment, utility billing, document workflow, educational library systems, and specialized operational software that state and local governments procure to automate core administrative and operational functions. Recent opportunities reflect heavy demand from Florida K-12 and higher education institutions, supported by scattered activity across Texas utilities, Georgia counties, and other jurisdictions buying management platforms to replace aging systems or establish new digital capabilities.

State and local procurement under this code spans two distinct buyer types: large school districts and county public school systems (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Valencia College, Northside Independent School District) and municipal departments managing utility operations, emergency services, and administrative workflows. Hillsborough County appears as the most active repeat buyer, with multiple sole-source renewals for ChildPlus Head Start management software, Title I budgeting software, library systems, and student assessment platforms. Activity concentrates in Florida—particularly Hillsborough County and Orange County—with secondary activity in Texas (utilities, school districts), Georgia (Gwinnett County), and isolated opportunities in Oregon, Connecticut, Arizona, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Valencia College's RFI for IT Service Management and Customer Service Management platforms (Request for Information, due August 26, 2025, 10:00 AM EST); Hillsborough County's sole-source Notice of Intent for ChildPlus Management Software (Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source, responses due August 29, 2025); the City of Augusta's RFP for utilities billing Customer Information System integration with Itron Temetra and Cityworks (RFP 26-275, due August 26, 2026, 11:00 AM); and the City of Alexandria's RFP on behalf of DASH transit authority for a Computer-Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location system replacement (RFP 2009, due August 18, 2026, 4:00 PM). Sole-source activity dominates the opportunities block, reflecting incumbent renewals and vendor-specific product designations by public institutions; competitive RFPs and RFIs appear less frequently but signal openness to alternative solutions in assessment, ITSM, and utilities platforms.
