UNSPSC 43232800: Network management software

A software developed to view relevant information collected from network devices and application sources through a central point of control. It is used for security purposes, control network communication and help human administrators configure and maintain a network.

UNSPSC 43232800 Network management software is a Class code under which state and local governments procure security operations and threat-management platforms, cloud-based identity and access solutions, managed cybersecurity services, backup and disaster-recovery software, and network monitoring and analytics tools. The opportunities recently posted show a shift from traditional network administration tools toward integrated security operations, vulnerability management, and cloud-native platforms that bundle monitoring, incident response, and threat intelligence into consolidated SaaS offerings.

State and local buyers across this code span state procurement offices, county IT departments, city governments, school districts, and transit authorities. Recent activity shows repeat solicitation from counties and school districts for firewall and network-security renewals, alongside one-time procurements by state departments and utilities for comprehensive managed services or platform implementations. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services issued a statewide RFP for Secure Services Edge solutions serving 80 executive branch agencies plus cooperative purchasers including cities, counties, and ports; Texas DIR has been active on managed network and security operations services; and California issued an IFB for managed cybersecurity services spanning multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection and response, and incident response. School districts in Utah (Jordan School District) and county governments across Florida, Georgia, and Texas appear as repeat buyers for firewall renewals, license subscriptions, and hardware support. Geographic spread covers California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Utah, Oregon, Mississippi, and scattered mid-Atlantic and Midwest jurisdictions—no single region dominates. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Administrative Services' RFP S-10700-00017534 for a Secure Services Edge solution with proposals due October 30, 2026 (a statewide multi-agency vehicle supporting 40,000 employees and local-government cooperative purchasers); the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement's RFQ 549635 for CrowdStrike cyber security licensing due October 16, 2026 (a two-year renewal for a centralized tenant); the Texas DIR's DIR-CPO-STS-602 Security Operations RFO for comprehensive SOC and governance-risk-compliance services; and Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0064 for an Application Security Testing platform due August 7, 2026 with a 5% local-preference incentive.
