UNSPSC 71151106: Data storage and backup

Services to archive or store archived data

UNSPSC 71151106 Data storage and backup is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The four opportunities posted in the <most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities> block—landfill gas collection system construction (Dalton-Whitfield Solid Waste Authority), park irrigation improvements (City of DeBary), digester gas utilization design-build-finance-operate (Eastern Municipal Water District), and municipal executive search services (City of College Park)—do not align with data storage or backup infrastructure, systems, or services. The irrigation project involves installation of Hunter irrigation controllers and piping; the landfill and digester gas projects center on physical infrastructure construction and long-term operations contracts; the executive search procurement is for personnel recruitment consulting. None involve procurement of data storage hardware, software, storage-area networking, backup appliances, cloud storage capacity, or related data protection services.

The code appears dormant in recent state and local solicitation activity, with no genuine opportunities targeting data storage architecture, redundancy systems, or backup operations. When pursuing this code, focus on larger state transportation departments, university systems, county IT consolidation initiatives, and state health and human services agencies that maintain substantial backend data operations, as these tend to refresh storage infrastructure through RFPs rather than smaller jurisdictions. The absence of activity in this sample does not confirm absence across all issuing bodies—check cooperative purchasing vehicles, state-level IT procurement schedules, and multistate education and health networks where data storage procurement is more likely to surface.
