UNSPSC 83112202: Frame relay public managed network services

UNSPSC 83112202 Frame relay public managed network services is a Commodity code describing fiber-based point-to-point Metro Ethernet transport and managed broadband connectivity services that state and local governments purchase to link remote or isolated facilities to network Points of Presence, support park operations, and enable emergency communications in areas with limited telecommunications infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state departments and transit authorities procuring Metro Ethernet circuits for highway operations, parks departments securing managed broadband for geographically isolated field locations, and correctional facilities acquiring inmate communication systems with integrated broadband components—a wider scope than frame relay alone, reflecting the practical convergence of Metro Ethernet and broadband connectivity procurement under this commodity classification.

State departments (Illinois DoIT), county governments (San Mateo Parks Department, Sauk County, Collier County, Orange County Transportation Authority), and Florida county boards dominate recent activity, with a notable concentration in California and Florida alongside Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Southwest. The Illinois Department of Information Technology's July 2026 solicitation for fiber-based point-to-point Metro Ethernet transport connecting the Department of Transportation's Hardin Bridge location to Illinois Century Network Points of Presence across 15 state sites (100 MB bandwidth, $45,000 estimated value, RFQ due July 30, 2026) exemplifies enterprise WAN connectivity procurement under this code. San Mateo County Parks Department's July 2026 RFP for managed broadband connectivity services supporting remote field operations across isolated park locations with 99.5% uptime requirements and 27.8% cost weighting (RFP due July 3, 2026) represents the municipal application. The Orange County Transportation Authority's July 2026 IFB for maintenance support services on mobile radio and mobile data terminal systems serving 248 Harris radios and 248 OrbStar MDTs across paratransit operations ($200,000 estimated value, IFB 250403, bids due July 27, 2026) and Sauk County, Wisconsin's August 2026 RFP for inmate telephone, video visitation, and tablet systems with Wi-Fi connectivity (RFP due August 26, 2026, mandatory site visit July 21, 2026) document the shift toward integrated broadband and communication platform procurement. Geographic spread centers on California, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas, with secondary activity across Colorado and Washington State. Small-business set-asides have been waived in at least one recent Illinois solicitation due to documented absence of qualified small vendors in Metro Ethernet services.
