UNSPSC 81161902: Workstation as a service

Cloud or web-based service consisting of a fully bundled offering which includes a lifecycle workplace management solution structured and packaged around standardized workstations and their configurations and priced as a monthly subscription fee on a per device basis.

UNSPSC 81161902 Workstation as a service, a Commodity code, encompasses cloud-hosted desktop and application environments delivered to end users across state and local jurisdictions, with recent state and local opportunities reflecting demand for Software-as-a-Service platforms supporting knowledge work, secure remote access, and enterprise mobility. State and local governments are procuring DaaS (Desktop as a Service) solutions, enterprise AI platforms, unified communications infrastructure, content management systems, and specialized cloud applications (student success systems, asset management platforms, immunization information systems, licensing management, and budget tracking). Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, higher education institutions, county transportation authorities, city governments, university systems, and state workforce and licensing boards. Oregon, Texas, Wisconsin, and North Carolina show the most recent activity, with multiple state-level infrastructure procurements and university system platform deployments visible across the dataset.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth of the code: the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued RFIs for Desktop as a Service and Secure Access Service Edge solutions (June 2026) seeking federated governance and Zero Trust security for faculty, staff, and researchers; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting a cloud-based Learning Management System serving 35,000 employees under RFO 696-TL-26-O020 (due August 6, 2026); the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Oregon Health Authority, is requesting proposals to replace the ALERT Immunization Information System with a cloud-hosted platform consolidating legacy systems under RFP S-DASOBO-00017475 (due August 3, 2026); and the City of Austin is requesting proposals for a cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management and Computerized Maintenance Management System for the Austin Water Department under RFP2200GTG3007 (due August 18, 2026). Texas agencies dominate recent activity with RFIs and RFPs for federal funds tracking systems, student success and mentoring software, procurement workflow platforms, multifamily management systems, and specialized cloud applications, while Oregon and Wisconsin universities are actively evaluating cloud infrastructure and security solutions, indicating sustained investment in modern SaaS delivery models.
