UNSPSC 83111605: Spacesegment leasing

General term for satellite, transponder or bandwidth leases and carriers

UNSPSC 83111605 Spacesegment leasing, a Commodity code, covers office, warehouse, and specialized facility leases that state and local governments procure to house agency operations, service delivery centers, and administrative functions. Recent opportunities show state departments, counties, and special-purpose districts leasing space ranging from 2,530 to 47,430 square feet, with lease terms typically five to ten years and financial commitments spanning hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Texas agencies (Department of Motor Vehicles, Facilities Commission, Department of Public Safety, Texas Water Development Board, Health and Human Services Commission) and Illinois state departments (Department of Human Services, Central Management Services, Department of Public Health, Department of Children and Family Services, Department of Transportation, Department of Employment and Community Services) dominate recent activity. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices acting on behalf of operating departments, county purchasing functions, regional workforce boards, and special districts; Illinois Central Management Services has posted numerous lease awards and RFIs since late March 2026, and the Texas Facilities Commission has been particularly active on behalf of multiple state agencies. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles RFP for 11,000–14,000 square feet in the North Dallas Metroplex (due July 24, 2026, for a nine-year-plus lease supporting a regional service center), the Texas Facilities Commission RFP for 15,948 square feet of court space in Austin with specialized ballistic-resistant construction requirements and 24/7 secure parking (due July 14, 2026), the Illinois Department of Central Management Services RFI for 23,803 square feet of office space in Chicago for the Department of Employment and Community Services (due June 22, 2026), and the Troy School District RFP for 7,000–8,000 square feet of Michigan Works office space in Troy, Michigan (due May 21, 2026, evaluated on location, cost, and lease requirements).

Procurement activity is concentrated in Texas and Illinois, with secondary activity in Michigan, Washington, and Georgia. Texas Facilities Commission procurements account for multiple recent competitive opportunities statewide; Illinois Central Management Services has issued dozens of lease awards and RFIs across Springfield, Chicago, and regional locations since March 2026, many through streamlined Request for Information processes under 30 ILCS 500/40-20 for properties under 10,000 square feet and annual rent below $200,000. Lease structures typically include initial terms of five years with optional five-year renewals and cumulative maximums of ten to twenty years; cost evaluation typically weighs price at 50 percent and facility condition, location, and experience at the remaining weight. Lessor responsibilities universally include utilities, janitorial services, maintenance, HVAC, parking (usually 25–100 spaces depending on agency need), and ADA compliance; many recent solicitations add specialized security infrastructure, ballistic-resistant windows, controlled access, panic alarms, and 24/7 HVAC for IT rooms or emergency operations centers. Set-asides are not standard in the code activity; Illinois occasionally applies small-business enterprise restrictions to individual procurements, and Washington State applies small- and veteran-owned business preferences below $150,000. Response windows have ranged from one to two months; Illinois renewal notices (which are not new solicitations but continuations) confirm existing lease terms and lessees without competitive rebidding.
