UNSPSC 83110000: Telecommunications media services

UNSPSC 83110000 Telecommunications media services is a Family code covering a broad range of voice, data, and emergency communications infrastructure and services that state and local governments procure to modernize or support existing networks. Recent state and local solicitations show agencies buying managed broadband connectivity for remote field operations, fiber-based metro ethernet transport, VoIP system replacements, inmate communication platforms with integrated tablets and kiosks, emergency management software, cellular signal studies, and dispatch console maintenance—spanning everything from last-mile connectivity to turnkey communication ecosystems. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois DoIT, Texas DIR, Colorado Broadband Office, Washington WaTech), counties (Orange, San Mateo, Sauk, Collier, Hillsborough, Los Angeles), cities (Detroit, Wichita, Ocala, Madison, New Bedford, Thomasville), school districts (Parkway, East Hartford, Valencia College, Poplarville), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and special-purpose districts (Seattle Convention Center, Eugene School District). The code attracts repeat solicitations from large multi-site operators managing networks across dozens of locations—notably Hillsborough County Schools and other school systems upgrading classroom technology infrastructure, and state broadband offices implementing federal grant-funded build-outs.

Recent opportunities span geographies coast to coast with notable concentration in California (San Mateo Parks, Orange County, Los Angeles County), Florida (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Ocala, Tampa), Texas (Region 7 Cooperative, DIR statewide), Washington (WaTech, Seattle Convention Center), Illinois (Department of IT), Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Information Technology's July 2026 RFQ for fiber-based Metro Ethernet to Hardin Bridge (100 MB, $45,000 estimated value, RFQ, responses due July 30), San Mateo County Parks' July 2026 RFP for managed broadband connectivity across geographically isolated park locations with 99.5% uptime minimum and local-vendor preference of up to 10% (RFP, due July 3), Sauk County Wisconsin's August 2026 RFP for turnkey inmate telephone, video visitation, and tablet systems across eight housing units at the county jail (RFP, due August 26, mandatory site visit July 21), and the Orange County Transportation Authority's July 2026 IFB for maintenance support on 248 mobile radios and terminals serving paratransit ($200,000 one-year estimated value, IFB, due July 27 with DBE goals and Davis-Bacon prevailing wages). The code remains active with regular procurements posted weekly, mixing one-time infrastructure projects, multi-year managed service agreements, and cooperative purchasing frameworks serving multiple jurisdictions.
