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, a Class code, encompasses software solutions and related services that state and local governments procure to monitor, manage, and optimize enterprise network infrastructure. Recent state and local solicitations frame the code's scope more narrowly than the abstract title suggests: the activity includes identity and access management platforms, managed cybersecurity services, SAST/DAST application security testing platforms, endpoint detection and response, managed incident response, and specialized domain tools such as Ivanti device management and Recorded Future threat intelligence. Jordan School District in Utah has emerged as a repeat buyer under this code, posting multiple IFBs in mid-2026 for Microsoft Server Licenses, Tools4Ever identity management software, Palo Alto firewall support, and Ivanti Windows device management. School districts, state departments, county governments, and university systems constitute the primary issuing bodies, with solicitations ranging from single-vendor RFPs to open competitive IFBs and cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Utah, California, Texas, Illinois, Mississippi, and Florida, with additional recent procurement signals in Connecticut, Georgia, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. Representative recent opportunities include Jordan School District's IFB 27TH04 for Microsoft Server Licenses (5,500+ Windows Server and SQL Server licenses, due July 31, 2026); Sacramento County's RFB 2026-RFB-0064 for an Application Security Testing platform with SAST, DAST, SCA, and AI-assisted remediation (due July 29, 2026); California Department of Technology's CALNET Managed Cybersecurity Services IFB across four service categories—managed MFA, incident response retainer, anti-phishing, and endpoint detection and response—with response dates through September 2026; the State of Texas Department of Information Resources' DIR-CPO-STS-602 for comprehensive Security Operations services spanning governance, SOC, and vulnerability management (proposals closed May 29, 2026, award anticipated February 2027); and the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's procurement of Recorded Future threat intelligence and Experian identity risk solutions. Solicitation types span IFBs, RFPs, RFIs, and cooperative purchasing agreements, with response windows typically thirty to ninety days. The code shows active procurement momentum across security orchestration, identity management, and managed services—areas where state and local government investment is sustained and rising.
