UNSPSC 43232801: Network monitoring software

Software to monitor, analyze, and detect network systems.

UNSPSC 43232801 Network monitoring software is a Commodity code identifying software products and services that state and local governments procure to monitor, analyze, and manage network performance, security, and infrastructure across distributed IT environments. Recent solicitations reveal that this code encompasses a mix of security monitoring platforms, application security testing tools, threat detection systems, and managed cybersecurity operations center services, with activity concentrated among state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities across multiple regions. The code shows robust procurement activity driven by zero-trust architecture mandates, federal and state cybersecurity compliance requirements, and vulnerability management imperatives.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include the California Department of Technology (procuring managed cybersecurity services across four categories—multi-factor authentication, incident response, anti-phishing, and endpoint detection and response—via IFB C5-CMCS-G1-26 with a September 14, 2026 response date), Sacramento County on behalf of its Department of Technology (Application Security Testing platform via RFB #2026-RFB-0064, due July 29, 2026), the City of Meriden, Connecticut (Security Operations Center monitoring and support via RFP026-50, due April 1, 2026), the State of Texas Department of Information Resources (comprehensive Security Operations services via DIR-CPO-STS-602, due May 29, 2026), the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (Recorded Future threat intelligence and cyber risk products via multiple IFBs in April and May 2026), and Jackson County, Georgia (Cisco network switching and routing equipment and professional services, due July 2, 2026). School districts, county utilities departments, and airport authorities also appear as solicitors for specialized network and security infrastructure. Geographic spread includes California, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Washington, with repeat activity from state-level procurement offices managing statewide cooperative contracts and framework agreements. Recent opportunities range from narrow single-vendor renewals (Silverfort licenses, Recorded Future SaaS, BeyondTrust privileged access management) to broad managed security services solicitations supporting multiple customer agencies over multi-year terms, reflecting the code's coverage of both point solutions and integrated security operations platforms.
