UNSPSC 81111804: Wide area network WAN maintenance or support

Maintenance is a purchased warranty or subscription that would include version upgrades or "bug" fixes released during the maintenance period.

UNSPSC 81111804 Wide area network WAN maintenance or support is a Commodity code covering network operations support, infrastructure maintenance, and system optimization services that state and local governments procure to keep distributed enterprise networks operational. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing WAN connectivity services, network infrastructure upgrades, and managed support—ranging from utility authority migration projects and school district fiber buildouts to multi-year statewide telecommunications contracts serving dozens of agencies and hundreds of sites simultaneously.

State WAN maintenance and support procurement is distributed across state departments, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The issuing-body mix includes state procurement offices (Florida Department of Management Services, Texas Department of Information Resources, Oregon Department of Administrative Services), county and municipal IT departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Garland Independent School District, Jackson County School System), utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state jurisdictions (NASPO ValuePoint, Texas cooperative purchasing). Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Colorado, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP26028SH for Utility Network Migration and Implementation Services (due June 12, 2026, with a three-year term and $500,000+ Service Tier C classification); Garland Independent School District's RFP 510-27-02 for Metropolitan Area Network and Wide Area Network Equipment and Services (proposals due November 10, 2026); Jackson County School System's RFP covering leased lit fiber WAN connectivity with 10–40 Gbps bandwidth (proposals due November 3, 2026, contingent on E-Rate funding); and the City of Orlando's RFP26-0578 for a Camping World Stadium Converged Network System design and installation (proposals due October 20, 2026, with operational deadline July 2027). The Florida Department of Management Services' MyFloridaNet-3 ITN (proposals due December 7, 2026) represents large-scale statewide procurement, with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $60 million covering WAN, MAN, internet access, and security services across all state agencies and eligible public entities.
