UNSPSC 81161703: Mobile Telephone Administration Service

A service involving the administration of mobile telephone user accounts.

UNSPSC 81161703 Mobile Telephone Administration Service (Commodity) covers cloud-based and SaaS solutions for capturing, archiving, indexing, and retrieving mobile communications from government-owned cellular devices, along with wireless carrier services and related telecommunications infrastructure. State and local governments buy this code primarily to support public records retention, legal discovery, compliance, and operational communications management across administrative and educational institutions. Recent solicitations show county government procurement offices, state agencies, and higher-education institutions acquiring both platform licensing (message archiving software with per-user seat licenses) and bulk carrier services (voice, data, and messaging plans supporting hundreds to thousands of devices under facilities-based mobile network operator contracts).

The issuing-body mix spans county purchasing offices (Clay County, Florida), state agencies (Texas Department of Information Resources, Georgia Technology Authority, Teacher Retirement System of Texas), and public higher-education institutions (Texas State Technical College, Valencia College District). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, with scattered activity in California. Representative recent opportunities include Clay County, Florida's RFQ for cloud-based cellular professional archiving with quotations due July 30, 2026, supporting 393 messaging users under a one-year SaaS contract with renewal options at $34,205.17 for the initial term (DLT Solutions quote); the Texas Department of Information Resources' indefinite-quantity, multiple-award RFP for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite services across all state agencies with responses due July 23, 2026; the Georgia Technology Authority's eRFP for wireless communication services and equipment serving approximately 259,000 connected devices with proposals due May 15, 2026; and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas's RFP for wireless and cellular services supporting approximately 710 devices (510 smartphones, 135 tablets, 55 hotspots, 21 Open Gear devices) with proposals due May 27, 2026. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body; Clay County offers local business preference for vendors with a permanent place of business in the county, while Texas procurements require Veteran Heroes United in Business subcontracting plans where subcontracting becomes necessary.
