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 representing the cloud-hosted data repository and backup services that state and local governments buy to support mission-critical applications, document management systems, and compliance-sensitive operations. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies procuring cloud storage primarily as an integrated component of larger system implementations—licensing and maintenance for specialized platforms, data migration support, hosted SaaS solutions, and backup and disaster-recovery infrastructure bundled with software deployments rather than as standalone storage procurement. The issuing-body mix spans state health and human services departments, higher education institutions (public universities and community colleges), county and city governments, transportation authorities, and special-purpose boards. Texas dominates recent activity, with multiple state-level procurements from the Health and Human Services Commission, Parks and Wildlife Department, Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and Texas State Board of Pharmacy, alongside university system procurements across the state. Oregon agencies (Department of Administrative Services, Department of Justice, State Library, Department of Human Services) show consistent activity. Additional recent solicitations come from state authorities and higher-education systems in North Carolina, Georgia, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Florida, with county and municipal activity in California and Arizona.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFI (posted July 16, 2026, due August 6, 2026) for a Federal Funds Tracking System seeking commercially available SaaS solutions with TX-RAMP Level 2 readiness; the Oregon Department of Administrative Services' RFP (posted July 14, due August 3, 2026) to replace the ALERT Immunization Information System with a cloud-hosted platform consolidating 8.2 million patient records and 105 million immunizations; and the City of Austin's RFP (posted July 6, due August 18, 2026) for a cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management and Computerized Maintenance Management System serving the Austin Water Department with 99.9% uptime SLA and mandatory integration with existing GIS, utility billing, and customer service platforms. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (posted July 7, due August 6, 2026) issued an RFO for a cloud-based Learning Management System supporting 35,000 employees with TX-RAMP Level 2 certification and 24/7 availability requirements. Cloud storage appears in every recent opportunity as a hosted or SaaS delivery requirement rather than as a standalone line item, with vendors responsible for encryption, backup, disaster recovery, data residency (domestic-only in most state procurements), and compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, NIST SP 800-53, and state-specific frameworks such as TX-RAMP and Oregon's Level 3 Restricted standards.
