UNSPSC 81111513: Internet cloud storage service

Service providing remote data storage on Internet cloud servers for all forms of data content uploaded from computer and computer-related digital equipment and devices.

UNSPSC 81111513 Internet cloud storage service is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code primarily as renewal subscriptions for cloud-based data backup, archival, and disaster-recovery services embedded within broader IT infrastructure modernization and compliance initiatives. Recent opportunities show substantial heterogeneity: some jurisdictions acquire raw storage capacity for specific applications (medical records repositories, city planning data, audit trails); others bundle storage into larger managed services contracts for ERP systems, immunization registries, and telecommunications platforms. The code captures storage-as-a-service renewals and expansions across transportation authorities, state health and human services agencies, county governments, and municipalities, often paired with security certifications (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, NIST compliance) and geographic data-residency mandates (continental U.S. hosting, state-specific cloud policy alignment).

Issuing bodies span transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Salem Area Mass Transit District), state departments (Oregon State Treasury, Oregon Health Authority, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Nevada Governor's Technology Office), county governments (San Mateo County, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County), cities (City of Santa Fe, City of Atlanta, Philadelphia, Decatur), universities (Texas State University, Los Alamos County), and independent school districts (Temple ISD). Orange County Transportation Authority appears repeatedly across the recent opportunities, pursuing software subscription renewals including AvePoint Cloud Backup for Microsoft ($451,073 over three years, bids due September 29, 2026 under DBE participation requirements) and Zscaler subscriptions (bids due September 29, 2026 with local-vendor preference under San Mateo County ordinance). Geographic activity concentrates in California (multiple OCTA procurement notices), Texas (TDCJ inmate technology system, TEA federal funds tracking, Temple ISD MDR), Oregon (Health Authority ALERT IIS replacement, Treasury sole-source Redapt services), Georgia (multiple cities and the Institute of Technology), and Florida (FWC single-source BioBase subscription). Recent representative opportunities include San Mateo County's Archive Remit and Claim Repository RFP (proposals due March 11, 2026, seeking secure EDI claims archival with U.S.-based hosting and HIPAA compliance), Oregon Health Authority's enterprise data management platform RFQ (quotes due September 18, 2026 through seven authorized MSA holders including CDWG and SHI International, requiring Snowflake, Power BI, and Azure integration with five-year estimated term), and the Texas Education Agency's Federal Fiscal and Program Monitoring Management System RFP (responses due September 23, 2026, cloud-based SaaS with TX-RAMP compliance and 5% service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goal). Most solicitations emphasize SaaS delivery, compliance automation, data residency restrictions, and integration depth with agencies' existing ERP, finance, and operational systems rather than standalone storage procurement.
