UNSPSC 81162202: Cloud storage as a service

Cloud Storage as a Service is a business model which a company leases or rents its storage infrastructure to another company or individuals to store data.

UNSPSC 81162202 Cloud storage as a service (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope. The opportunities posted under this code in the source material—including audio-visual services for council meetings, AI-enabled X-ray screening systems, backup and disaster recovery storage hardware with vendor-specific reseller requirements, broadcast system upgrades, federal compliance monitoring software, career and technical education platforms, cybersecurity and instructional technology bundles, police camera systems with cloud integration, mobile data analytics, and accounts payable automation—address distinct service lines (AV production, AI software, physical storage appliances, education platforms, public safety technology, and workflow automation) that fall outside cloud storage subscription services. The one tangential match—cloud storage and redaction software embedded within a multi-year police camera project—represents a minor component of a broader in-car and body-worn camera procurement rather than a standalone cloud storage service offering.

Issuers pursuing opportunities tagged to this code span state education agencies (Texas Education Agency), counties (Chatham County, Broward County, Hillsborough County), cities (Cleveland, Georgia; Norcross, Georgia), an airport authority (Broward County Aviation Department), an education service center (Region One ESC in Texas), and special-purpose districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Until the source reflects solicitations for dedicated cloud storage subscription services—such as managed file sync-and-share, archival backup, or multi-tenant data repositories—this code signals minimal open market activity for state and local buyers under its primary definition.
