UNSPSC 81112101: Internet service providers ISP

UNSPSC 81112101 Internet service providers ISP is a Commodity code that encompasses subscription-based connectivity services and platform access that state and local governments procure for internal operations, public-facing digital infrastructure, and workforce management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code for a mix of broadband delivery (fiber, satellite, wireless), managed network services (WAN, SD-WAN, SIP trunking), software subscriptions that enable connectivity functions, and specialized platforms such as healthcare workforce matching systems that depend on internet delivery. The issuing bodies are diverse: state health and human services departments, state departments of transportation and information technology, county governments, city procurement offices, independent school districts, and higher-education systems. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Maryland Department of Information Technology appear as repeat buyers. Work ranges from managed broadband connectivity for remote field operations (San Mateo County Parks Department, RFP 2026RFP00539, response due July 3, 2026) to SIP trunking services for school districts (Community Consolidated School District 46, Illinois, RFP 4372627, response due June 22, 2026) to wide-area network connectivity for technical colleges and state facilities (Savannah Technical College eRFQ 84100SAV0000094, response due May 14, 2026) to cellular and wireless infrastructure services for state agency fleets (Texas DIR indefinite-quantity contract DIRCPOTXA610, response due July 23, 2026).

Geographic spread spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Illinois, and Kansas, with Texas and Maryland showing particularly active recent procurement activity. Texas procurements include healthcare platforms (PracticeMatch, HHS0017691), data warehouse software (Altair Monarch, HHS0017711), and statewide wireless services (TEX-AN-WPS). Maryland Department of Information Technology is executing secondary competitions for SD-WAN and LEO satellite internet across multiple state facilities. Florida municipalities are procuring convention center telecom services (Tampa RFP 26P00184, response due April 30, 2026) and managed broadband for parks. The code shows sustained activity across multi-state jurisdictions and no clear concentration in a single region. Set-asides appear selectively: Texas mandates HUB Subcontracting Plans on qualifying procurements; Georgia technical colleges conduct mandatory pre-bid conferences; San Mateo County applies local preference ordinances (5–10% preference points). Incumbent vendors and current service providers are rarely named in recent postings, suggesting competitive re-procurement cycles or expansion of existing contracts to new service areas.
