UNSPSC 81111801: Computer or network or internet security

UNSPSC 81111801 Computer or network or internet security, a Commodity code, encompasses state and local procurement of managed cybersecurity services, threat detection platforms, security monitoring tools, identity and access management software, and incident response capabilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include state departments (California, Texas, Nevada), counties (Gwinnett County Georgia, Orange County Florida, Montgomery County Pennsylvania), cities (Atlanta, Alexandria Virginia, Meriden Connecticut), school districts (Eugene School District 4J Oregon, Fairfax County Public Schools Virginia), and specialized authorities (greater Orlando Aviation Authority). Recent activity reflects heavy investment in managed security operations centers, endpoint detection and response, multi-factor authentication, and privileged access management, alongside infrastructure security modernization at water treatment facilities and airports. The code also captures sole-source procurements for specific security tools and RFIs for emerging security capabilities such as digital privacy protection services and AI-powered security analytics.

State and local procurement under this code splits across four issuing-body patterns: state-level managed security contracts (California Department of Technology's CALNET Managed Cybersecurity Services IFB with four service categories across MFA, incident response, anti-phishing, and endpoint detection; Texas DIR's comprehensive Security Operations services RFO), county and city SOC operations (Meriden Connecticut Security Operations Center monitoring, Montgomery County Pennsylvania on-call cybersecurity consulting), and school and specialized-district procurement (Eugene School District 4J Juniper support through cooperative purchasing, Forsyth County Schools Georgia video management and AI analytics RFI, Orange County Property Appraiser penetration testing tool). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, with additional procurement in Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, and Minnesota. Representative recent opportunities include California's CALNET Managed Cybersecurity Services IFB (posted June 30, 2026, due September 14, 2026, covering 24×7 managed MFA, incident response, anti-phishing, and endpoint detection across four service categories with multiple-award structure), Orange County Florida's NodeZero penetration testing and Darktrace Antigena SaaS bids (both posted July 1, 2026, due July 24, 2026, totaling approximately $500,000 in annual spend), and the City of Meriden Connecticut's Security Operations Center RFP (posted June 30, 2026, due April 1, 2026 [note: posted deadline appears superseded], seeking 24/7/365 continuous monitoring and incident response support). Cooperative purchasing vehicles remain active—Eugene School District leveraged Oregon's State IT Hard VAR Contract through CDW Government for Juniper services ($478,956 over five years, posted July 2, 2026); Washington County Oregon used OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing for cyber security services ($300,000 anticipated value, notice posted April 30, 2026). Sole-source activity demonstrates consolidation around specific platforms: Nevada Department of Health Services sole-source with Juvare EMSystems for preparedness system consolidation (posted July 8, 2026); Clay County Florida sole-source with Quantum Partners LLC d/b/a SwiftGov for AI-driven development code review (posted July 8, 2026). The code shows consistent demand for managed services with defined SLAs, cloud-native architecture compliance (FedRAMP/GovRAMP certification), NIST Cybersecurity Framework alignment, and integration with legacy on-premises infrastructure.
