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) spans state and local procurement for case management systems, computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and automatic vehicle location (AVL) platforms, learning management systems, document management and workflow automation, tax and regulatory collection software, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) modules. The scope of work encompasses both system software—managing operational workflows, data integration, and user access—and business-domain applications such as workforce development, criminal justice operations, transit fleet management, and municipal tax administration. State and local governments are actively buying these systems through competitive RFPs and RFQs, as well as through sole-source renewals of incumbent platforms where transition costs or integration complexity justify noncompetitive procurement.

The recent opportunities reflect a diverse issuing-body mix spanning state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Insurance, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Washington Department of Health, Georgia Department of Community Health), city and county procurement offices (Philadelphia, Atlanta, Alexandria, Santa Monica, Tucson, Salem, Newnan), transit authorities (City of Alexandria on behalf of DASH; City of Manitowoc Maritime Metro Transit), universities (University of Mississippi, Kennesaw State University), special-purpose districts (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Pasco County), and state higher-education boards (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board). Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (multiple TDCJ, TDI, and state-agency procurements), Florida (Hillsborough County sole-source software licenses and system integration), Washington (statewide CAD-to-CAD interoperability platform), Colorado (town-level ERP and event-scheduling systems), and Georgia (state Medicaid fraud-detection analytics and municipal ERP qualifications). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Alexandria's RFP 2009 for a next-generation CAD/AVL system replacement serving DASH, with sealed proposals due August 18, 2026, requiring enterprise licensing, cloud or on-premise hosting, and integration with existing Motorola radio and mobile-data-terminal infrastructure; the Washington State Department of Health's RFQQ transition from legacy Sentry to EPA SDWIS State application suite, with proposals due July 23, 2026, budgeted at $2,298,707 and covering seven SDWIS applications, cloud infrastructure, and five years of hosting and support; and the City of Santa Monica's RFP 468 for a comprehensive SaaS tax-collection and permits-licensing platform consolidating five municipal revenue streams, with proposals due May 26, 2026, and evaluation weighted toward functional capabilities (25%), technology alignment (25%), and cost (15%).
