UNSPSC 81111514: Cloud support services

Services that support cloud deployment, data transfer, service operations, and more.

UNSPSC 81111514 Cloud support services is a Commodity code encompassing managed services platforms and software licensing renewals that state and local governments are currently buying to support operational infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and enterprise system integration. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a mix of cloud-native subscription renewals for established vendors (Mimecast, Zscaler, Silver Peak, Ekahau Connect, DOMO, VertiGIS), managed services for specialized functions (college and career advising, grants management, data removal, EHS compliance, message switching, identity management), and system migrations or replacements requiring integration with existing enterprise environments. The issuing bodies span county technology services departments (San Mateo County, California), state higher education coordinating boards (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board), state environmental agencies (Oregon State Hospital, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment), county fire marshals' offices (Harris County, Texas), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District, Texas), and specialized transit or municipal departments (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, City of Phoenix, County of Sacramento Department of Airports). San Mateo County Technology Services Department appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFQs and RFPs between August and October 2026 for software renewals and enterprise system replacements.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in California (San Mateo County, Sacramento County) and Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Harris County, Northside Independent School District), with secondary activity across Colorado, Oregon, Florida, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's RFO 781-6-CB-20 for managed services in college and career advising with proposals due October 23, 2026; San Mateo County Technology Services Department's multiple IFB and RFQ notices for software license renewals (Silver Peak, Mimecast, Zscaler, DOMO, Ekahau Connect, VertiGIS) spanning August through October 2026; San Mateo County's RFP 2027RFP00144 for a grants management system with proposals due October 30, 2026; Colorado Department of Personnel & Administration's RFP AADA 2027-0046 for ACP Client Data Removal Services with proposals due October 14, 2026 at $108,000 estimated annual value; and San Mateo County's RFP 2027RFP00007 for Message Switch System Replacement serving approximately 30 law enforcement agencies with proposals due September 21, 2026. Mandatory HUB subcontracting plans, local business preferences, and cybersecurity/compliance certifications (CJIS, FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001) appear consistently across solicitations, signaling heightened demand for managed services that address data governance, regulatory alignment, and enterprise integration risk.
