UNSPSC 81161501: Software application administration service

A service involving the administration access and security for network-provided software applications.

UNSPSC 81161501 Software application administration service is a Commodity code encompassing the licensing, maintenance, support, and operational administration of business and enterprise software applications deployed across state and local agencies. Recent state and local opportunities show governments procuring ongoing maintenance and support for specialized applications including learning management systems, video conferencing and training platforms, laboratory information systems, pension administration systems, and mission-critical epidemiological and health registries, alongside broader managed application services contracts covering portfolio-wide administration and hosted SaaS licensing.

State procurement offices, health and human services commissions, transportation authorities, courts, universities, and cities drive activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and related state agencies appear repeatedly, soliciting support for systems spanning public health registries, laboratory management, workforce portals, and health service delivery platforms. Recent notice types include RFP, RFO, IFB, and RFQ formats; response deadlines cluster in July and August 2026. Geographic spread spans Texas (the primary hub), California, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, and scattered city and county jurisdictions. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting Video Directly Observed Therapy platform services with one-year term and approximately $188,400 annual cost (RFP, August 26, 2026 due date); Oregon Health Authority seeking ongoing maintenance, enhancement, and 24/7/365 system availability for the Oregon Public Health Epidemiology User System (RFP, July 29, 2026 due); the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts soliciting Element Learning Management Solutions SaaS licensing with unlimited users, 99.5% uptime guarantee, and FIPS 140-2 encryption (RFO, August 5, 2026 due); and San Mateo Medical Center procuring enterprise PACS implementation with five-year agreement and 99.9% uptime requirement supporting 65,000+ radiology studies annually (RFP, August 7, 2026 due). Cybersecurity compliance, data residency, accessibility standards (WCAG, Section 508), and performance-level agreements specifying uptime, response times, and liquidated damages for service failures consistently appear across solicitations, signaling that technical maturity and regulatory compliance depth drive award decisions in this code's current market.
