UNSPSC 81111611: Programming for PL/1

UNSPSC 81111611 Programming for PL/1 is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are acquiring in recent solicitations. The source contains sixteen recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, but thirteen of them involve services unrelated to PL/1 programming—including utility network migration platforms, college advising, APIs for victim information systems, social media dashboards, medical imaging systems, lost-and-found software, flight management, learning management systems, application maintenance, vital records systems, ERP production support, background investigation file management, EMS revenue billing, and emerging technologies consulting. The three opportunities with the strongest relevance to programming work—the New Jersey Department of Human Services' NJKiDS Application Maintenance and Support (reprocurement of J2EE MVC application services across a statewide child support enforcement system serving 3,500 users and processing $52 million in weekly collections), the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's ERP Production Support RFP (ten-year SAP and SuccessFactors maintenance for 76 agencies serving 85 agencies with 299 active interfaces), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's LabWare Maintenance and Operations services (three-year LIMS maintenance and TLO integration for the Department of State Health Services)—involve modern platforms (J2EE, SAP, SuccessFactors, LabWare) rather than legacy PL/1 systems. No recent state and local solicitations actually seek PL/1 programming services under this code.

The tagged opportunities span state departments (Texas HHS, Illinois DoIT, Illinois IDPH, Nevada Wildlife, Oregon Health Authority, New Jersey DHS), counties (San Mateo, Broward, Gwinnett, Marion, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida), cities (Atlanta), and specialized districts (North Carolina aviation authority, Texas TSBPA, TSTC, University of Oregon, UT Austin). The geographic spread includes Florida, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, California, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the New Jersey Department of Human Services' RFQ for NJKiDS Application Maintenance and Support with quotes due January 5, 2027 (a reprocurement requiring 20 staff positions across project management, development, QA, database administration, and help desk to maintain a J2EE MVC application processing 1.6 million transactions daily); the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's RFP for ERP Production Support with proposals due November 12, 2026 (a ten-year contract covering SAP Finance and SuccessFactors HCM maintenance for 161 state agencies with 99.99% uptime and service-level credits); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFO for LabWare Maintenance and Operations with proposals due August 7, 2026 (a three-year LIMS system maintenance and TLO integration project for the Public Health Laboratory Division supporting 450,000 samples annually). This code shows minimal market activity for PL/1 programming and should not be pursued based on current state and local procurement patterns.
