UNSPSC 83112202: Frame relay public managed network services

UNSPSC 83112202 Frame relay public managed network services is a Commodity code that in practice covers state and local procurement of diverse telecommunications, networking, and communications infrastructure—far beyond the legacy frame relay technology the code name suggests. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show state and local governments buying audio-visual systems and services, satellite broadband connectivity, managed network services, voice-over-IP and unified communications systems, cabling and network infrastructure installation, emergency communications platforms, and inmate telephone and video visitation systems. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Education Agency, Washington Military Department, Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, Texas Department of Information Resources, San Mateo County, Orange County Transportation Authority), county governments (Collier County, Sauk County, Hillsborough County), city procurement offices (Austin, Detroit, Doral, Ocala), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Temple ISD, Parkway School District), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and special-purpose districts (Central Health, Peachtree City Airport Authority). State-level cooperative purchasing vehicles and master contracts dominate the recent activity, particularly through Texas DIR, which has posted multiple solicitations for End-User IT Outsourcing Services, cabling services, managed network services, and wireless/satellite services on indefinite-quantity, multiple-award bases serving state agencies, local governments, and education entities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (frequent DIR cooperative contracts and multiple school district RFPs), California (San Mateo County, City of Doral, Orange County Transportation Authority), Illinois (state-level Metro Ethernet and telephone maintenance), Washington (WaMD, WaTech), and Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County, City of Ocala). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-27-001 for audio-visual services supporting the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities Council meetings (due October 21, 2026), the Washington Military Department's RFP27014 for Low Earth Orbit satellite internet terminals supporting emergency management (due December 3, 2026 with a pre-bid conference October 21), the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's Metro Ethernet IFB for multiple correctional facilities (due October 20, 2026), and Texas DIR's COOP2026SOL-00009 for End-User IT Outsourcing Services on a cooperative master contract basis (due October 20, 2026). The code's recent activity reflects state and local governments modernizing aging telecommunications infrastructure and consolidating voice, data, and emergency communications on cloud or managed platforms; pursuit requires close attention to cooperative purchasing rules and DIR administrative fee structures where applicable.
