UNSPSC 43233206: Cloud-based protection or security software

Software designed to extend user security from device to cloud with data visibility, data loss prevention, and advanced threat protection on a platform that supports an open ecosystem.

UNSPSC 43233206 Cloud-based protection or security software, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local contract opportunities. The recent opportunities tied to this code span construction (sprinkler head replacement), network services, utilities billing software, and building security systems—none of which represent cloud-based security software procurement. One solicitation explicitly names FireMon security software licenses; others reference threat intelligence platforms, managed network services, and application security testing tools. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually tagged suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code inconsistently or that the source data contains tagging errors.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include state departments (Maryland DoIT, Illinois Innovation and Technology, Texas DIR, Oregon DAS), counties (Collin County, Chatham County, Gwinnett County), cities (Detroit, Phoenix, Meriden), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), universities (University of Southern Mississippi, University of Mississippi), and school districts (Granite School District). Maryland DoIT appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting FireMon and threat intelligence licenses multiple times between May and October 2026. Geographic spread includes Maryland, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Connecticut, Colorado, Utah, and Florida, with no clear regional concentration. The most recent active opportunity under this code is the Oregon Department of Administrative Services RFP for a Secure Services Edge solution, due October 30, 2026, supporting approximately 80 executive branch agencies and 40,000 employees with cooperative purchasing available to cities, counties, and ports statewide. Because the recent opportunities do not consistently align with cloud-based protection or security software, business development professionals should validate the actual scope of work independently before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
