UNSPSC 43232700: Network applications software

Software that enables or automates functions relevant to network applications

UNSPSC 43232700 Network applications software is a Class code that encompasses cloud-based platforms and subscription services state and local governments deploy to manage specific operational functions—from secure remote access and identity management to social media operations, utility billing, and cybersecurity monitoring. Recent state and local solicitations show agencies buying integrated software solutions that consolidate data, automate workflows, support compliance reporting, and enable cross-departmental collaboration; the work ranges from on-premises deployments to fully cloud-hosted SaaS models with strict data residency and security requirements. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas DIR, California CDT, Illinois DoIT, Oregon DAS), counties (Orange County California, Chatham County Georgia, Gwinnett County Georgia, Jackson County Georgia, Collin County Texas), municipalities (City of Detroit, City of Meriden Connecticut, City of Phoenix Arizona, City of Augusta Georgia, City of Waco Texas), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority California), and public universities (Southern Mississippi, University of Mississippi). Orange County, California and Gwinnett County, Georgia appear frequently as repeat solicitors across multiple software categories. The code shows sustained activity across network security (Secure Services Edge solutions, managed cybersecurity, incident response retainers), identity and access management (Tools4Ever NIM, Absolute Secure Access mobility, Privileged Access Management), application security testing platforms, and administrative software (utilities billing systems, program review and assessment tools, backup and disaster recovery platforms).

Geographic spread concentrates in California (Orange County, Sacramento County, Bay Area through CALNET), Texas (state procurement through DIR, Houston-area utilities, Tarrant County community college), Georgia (Chatham, Gwinnett, Jackson counties), and Florida (Orange County utilities, Pinellas County airport, city and county entities), with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Mississippi, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Administrative Services' RFP for a Secure Services Edge (SSE) solution supporting 80 state agencies and 40,000 employees with Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, Cloud Access Security Broker, and Data Loss Protection capabilities—proposals due October 30, 2026; Orange County, California's RFP for Social Media Management and Analytics Services across 22 departments supporting 60 social media profiles with a firm-fixed five-year term and local-business preference—responses due November 5, 2025; the State of Texas DIR's RFO for Managed Network Services covering design, configuration, and 24/7 monitoring across vendor-owned and customer infrastructure for eligible state and local entities—responses due September 4, 2026; the California Department of Technology's IFB for CALNET Managed Cybersecurity Services across four categories (MFA, incident response, anti-phishing, endpoint detection and response) supporting multiple state agencies and local jurisdictions with multiple awards anticipated—final bids due September 14, 2026; and the City of Augusta, Georgia's RFP for a utilities billing Customer Information System integrating customer account management, meter reading, asset management, and payment portals with AMI integration—proposals due August 26, 2026. The code sees steady pursuit momentum; security-focused solutions and cloud compliance capabilities drive near-term demand.
