UNSPSC 83112205: X25 managed network services

UNSPSC 83112205 X25 Managed Network Services (Commodity) encompasses fiber-based metro ethernet transport, broadband connectivity solutions, wireline and fixed wireless services, and VoIP implementation—the core last-mile and enterprise telecommunications infrastructure state and local governments procure to connect agency locations, correctional facilities, parks, schools, and municipal operations to network points of presence and internet service providers. The Illinois Department of Information Technology, County of San Mateo Parks Department, Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) on behalf of multiple Washington State agencies, and regional transit and school authorities dominate recent solicitation activity. Work ranges from point-to-point fiber metro ethernet (Illinois DOT-R818 Hardin Metro Ethernet, 100 MB bandwidth, $45,000 estimated value, RFQ due July 30, 2026) to managed broadband for geographically isolated park locations supporting terrestrial wireless, satellite, or integrated multi-path systems (San Mateo County Parks Department, RFP due July 3, 2026, with local preference ordinances awarding up to 10% preferential points) to wireline ethernet and fixed wireless across 29 Washington State sites including correctional facilities and state offices with bandwidth requirements from 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps (WaTech RFQ 26RFQ023, due May 12, 2026). State and local buyers also solicit under this code for specialized connectivity serving inmate communication systems (Sauk County Jail telephone, video visitation, kiosk, and tablet system, RFP due August 26, 2026; Texas Juvenile Justice Department juvenile offender telephone and video call system, RFO due April 24, 2026), dispatch and emergency communications infrastructure (District of Columbia NG911 program management consulting, proposals due February 2, 2026; Harrison County Mississippi mass notification service, RFP due March 18, 2026), and classroom or facility-wide technology integration (Valencia College classroom and conference room technology services, RFP due April 30, 2026; City of Thomasville Georgia VoIP telephone system replacement, RFP due March 18, 2026).

Recent activity spans Illinois, California, Washington, Wisconsin, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Colorado, and Kansas, with the heaviest concentration in California (San Mateo County), Washington (WaTech multi-agency), Texas (DIR cooperative contracts, TJJD), and Florida (Hillsborough County schools, Collier County, Tampa/Sarasota region). The code shows sustained activity across state departments, counties, cities, special districts (transit authorities, school districts), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, OETC in Oregon). Issuing bodies frequently apply small business set-asides, local vendor preferences (San Mateo's 10% local/small business incentive), DBE goals (Orange County Transportation Authority), and cooperative purchasing frameworks that allow multiple awards. Evaluation typically weights cost (27–40%), technical approach and experience (25–45%), and qualifications (15–30%); many solicitations require vendors to hold current network service agreements, exhibit accessibility conformance documentation, and demonstrate past performance on similar projects. Response deadlines cluster in May through July 2026, with several proposals currently open or recently closed, indicating active procurement momentum across the category.
