UNSPSC 83112400: Switched dial up and leased dedicated line circuit telecommunications services

UNSPSC 83112400 Switched dial up and leased dedicated line circuit telecommunications services is a Class code that encompasses the procurement of circuit-based telecommunications connectivity, including Metro Ethernet transport, broadband ISP services, satellite internet, and voice/video communications infrastructure across state and local jurisdictions. State and local buyers under this code span state technology departments, county transportation authorities, school districts, correctional facilities, and municipal agencies. Recent opportunities show heavy demand for point-to-point fiber Metro Ethernet circuits connecting agency facilities to network hubs, redundant broadband connectivity for remote operations, managed broadband for field-deployed assets, and satellite-based communications for emergency and continuity operations. The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology has posted multiple Metro Ethernet RFQs; the Washington Military Department is procuring Low Earth Orbit satellite terminals for emergency operations; the Texas Department of Information Resources issued cooperative master contracts for cellular, wireless, and satellite services; and the County of San Mateo Parks Department is seeking managed broadband for geographically isolated park locations. Evaluation typically emphasizes cost of service (monthly recurring charges plus non-recurring installation fees), bandwidth and latency performance, uptime SLAs, and geographic coverage or redundancy design.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois (point-to-point Metro Ethernet for corrections facilities and transportation agencies), Washington State (emergency communications satellite networks), Texas (statewide agency wireless and broadband services through cooperative vehicles), and California (regional broadband for parks and county operations). Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's fiber Metro Ethernet transport service RFQ for Department of Corrections facilities with bids due October 20, 2026; the Washington Military Department's LEO satellite internet RFP for emergency management operations with proposals due December 3, 2026; the County of San Mateo Parks Department's managed broadband connectivity RFP for remote field operations with proposals due July 3, 2026; WaTech's broadband ISP RFQ for Washington correctional and state office locations; and the Texas Department of Information Resources' indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite services with responses due July 23, 2026. Contract values range from approximately $45,000 for single-site circuits to $29.3 million in FY 2025 spend across DIR cooperative purchasing for end-user IT outsourcing and related managed services.
