UNSPSC 83112200: Enhanced telecommunications services

UNSPSC 83112200 Enhanced telecommunications services is a Class code capturing the broad range of managed, specialized, and carrier-grade telecommunications solutions that state and local governments are actively procuring. State and local governments buy fiber-based metro ethernet transport, managed broadband connectivity for remote operations, managed cybersecurity services, VoIP systems and related infrastructure, inmate communication platforms, emergency dispatch and mass notification capabilities, satellite-based communications, structured cabling systems, and related technical support and maintenance services under this code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois Department of Information Technology, California Department of Technology, Texas Department of Information Resources, Colorado Broadband Office), counties (San Mateo, Sauk, Orange, Hillsborough, Collier, Los Angeles), cities (Detroit, Wichita, Thomasville, Ocala), school districts (Valencia College, Parkway School District, Eugene School District 4J), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and correctional and public safety agencies. The recent opportunities show a mix of metro ethernet provisioning, broadband ISP services for state operations and parks, cloud-based contact center and cybersecurity platforms, VoIP telephone system replacements, classroom technology services, and turnkey communication systems for correctional facilities.
