UNSPSC 81112500: Computer software licensing rental or leasing service

A service involving the licencing, rental or leasing of computer software

UNSPSC 81112500 Computer software licensing rental or leasing service is a Class code encompassing the subscription, licensing, and leasing arrangements for off-the-shelf and custom software platforms that state and local governments deploy across administrative, operational, and regulatory functions. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring cloud-based SaaS platforms for specialized workflows—generative AI plan-review systems, workstation management services, complaint management platforms, recreation management, and assessment delivery—alongside renewals and expansions of established enterprise software such as Atlassian tools, Autodesk licenses, Adobe subscriptions, and network analytics. Issuing bodies span state departments (Colorado Division of Housing, Texas HHSC, Utah Department of Insurance, Florida DEP), county governments (Orange County California, Orange County Florida, Pasco County Florida), cities and municipalities (Philadelphia, Wausau/Marathon County Wisconsin), school districts (Granite School District Utah, Hillsborough County Public Schools Florida, Seminole County Schools Florida), transit authorities (Greater Bridgeport Transit Connecticut), water authorities (Great Lakes Water Authority Michigan), and specialized districts. The mix reflects no single dominant buyer type; rather, the code draws solicitations across all jurisdictional categories, with recent activity showing repeat participation from Orange County California (multiple IFBs for Variphy, Autodesk, IBM services), the District of Columbia (multiple RFTOBs and pricing quotations), and several Florida counties and school districts.

Geographic spread in recent opportunities spans Colorado, Texas, Utah, California (Orange County, Riverside County), Florida (Miami-Dade/Orange County, Hillsborough, Seminole, Pasco), Illinois, Michigan, Connecticut, and Wisconsin, with no geographic concentration—activity appears distributed across multiple regions and urban/suburban jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Colorado's Division of Housing RFI for a generative AI plan review system (RFINHAA20260000472, RFI due July 9, 2026) to analyze building code compliance across 1,000 annual plan sets; Texas HHSC's RFO for Workstation Management Services supporting 55,000 devices statewide (HHS0016620, responses due June 22, 2026, anticipated award January 2027, approximately $5 million annually); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP for a comprehensive student assessment platform to replace School City system and serve 200,000+ students (26112RFPEST, proposals due April 10, 2026, with Small Business Encouragement Program 20 percent subcontracting goal); and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services' cooperative purchasing award to SHI International for Atlassian Jira, Confluence, and complementary tools valued at $458,471.11 through Sourcewell (26418DCFSPROCUB52948, effective June 12, 2026). RFIs predominate as a signal of early-stage planning and market research before formal procurement, while RFOs, RFPs, and IFBs indicate active near-term buying intent with defined specifications and timelines.
