UNSPSC 81111814: Co location service

UNSPSC 81111814 Co location service is a Commodity code capturing data center colocation, managed IT infrastructure hosting, and cloud-based computing support services that state and local governments procure to consolidate workstations, applications, and enterprise systems. Recent solicitations show this code spans workstation management platforms, managed IT services delivery, cloud SaaS deployments, and IT project staffing—work that supports agencies managing large distributed computing environments, legacy system migrations, and enterprise application hosting across multiple locations and user populations.

State and local IT procurement offices, health and human services agencies, education authorities, and municipal IT departments drive activity under this code. Texas agencies—including the Health and Human Services Commission, Railroad Commission, Texas Workforce Commission, and Department of Information Resources—appear repeatedly, alongside school districts (Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Manatee County Schools), county governments (Hall County, Georgia), municipalities (Phoenix, Eastman, College Park), and special-purpose authorities (LA-RICS, University of Texas Health Science Center). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission in particular has posted multiple large IT infrastructure and data management procurements. Representative recent solicitations include the HHSC Workstation Management Services RFO (HHS0016620, posted June 30, 2026, due July 7, 2026) covering account management, repair, installation, and extended warranty for 55,000 statewide devices across HHS and Department of State Health Services locations, with historical annual compensation near $5 million; the LA-RICS Managed Information Technology Services IFB (LARICS029, posted June 23, 2026, due August 11, 2026) for proactive monitoring, administration, and cybersecurity support of approximately thirty Microsoft 365 users; and the Washington State OSPI Individualized Education Program Platform RFP (RFPNO202620, posted April 27, 2026, due June 30, 2026) for enterprise-scale IEP platform implementation and support across 150,000 students and 300+ school districts. Geographic concentration centers on Texas and the Pacific Northwest, with emerging activity in Florida and Georgia.
