UNSPSC 43233205: Transaction security and virus protection software

Virus protection software are programs to detect and remove computer viruses. The simplest kind scans executable files and boot blocks for a list of known viruses. Others are constantly active, attempting to detect the actions of general classes of viruses.

UNSPSC 43233205 Transaction security and virus protection software is a Commodity code covering endpoint protection, managed detection and response, threat intelligence, and compliance-monitoring software that state and local governments deploy to strengthen cybersecurity across desktop, server, and mobile infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers—including county governments, cities, transit authorities, state departments, and special-purpose districts—procuring renewals of existing licenses (Veeam, CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, Recorded Future), deploying new managed security services (MDR, EDR, SOC monitoring), and bundling security modules into statewide or regional agreements. The code captures both point products and integrated suites supporting zero-trust architecture, incident response, and regulatory compliance under frameworks such as NIST 800-53, CJIS, and FedRAMP.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, Illinois, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Administrative Services procuring a Secure Services Edge (SSE) solution covering 40,000 employees across state and local cooperative purchasers under RFP S-10700-00017534 (responses due October 30, 2026); the City of Detroit requesting CrowdStrike cyber security licensing renewal under RFQ 549635 (quotes due October 16, 2026); Gwinnett County issuing a competitive sealed bid for Absolute Secure Access Mobility Software and support (responses due September 21, 2026); and the Texas Department of Information Resources seeking comprehensive Security Operations services including SIEM, incident response, and vulnerability management through DIR-CPO-STS-602 (responses due May 29, 2026). Illinois, Maryland, and California have also posted procurements for Recorded Future threat intelligence and Trend Micro renewal licenses. Activity reflects sustained state and local investment in cloud-native security platforms, managed services, and multi-year statewide agreements that bundle licensing, support, and integration across dozens or hundreds of agencies and thousands of endpoints.
