UNSPSC 83112403: Point to point digital telecommunications circuit

UNSPSC 83112403 Point to point digital telecommunications circuit is a Commodity code describing state and local procurement of managed point-to-point data connectivity between discrete locations, typically using fiber-based metro ethernet or similar transport protocols. Recent opportunities show governments buying fiber-based metro ethernet circuits to connect agency buildings to state network hubs, broadband connectivity to remote facilities with topographical or infrastructure barriers, high-speed ethernet services (10 Gbps) between transportation centers, and wireline ethernet or fixed wireless last-mile connections to secure correctional facilities and state office locations. The Illinois Department of Information Technology, Orange County Transportation Authority, Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech), the Florida Department of Transportation, and Colorado's broadband office are active buyers in the past six months. Solicitation vehicles include RFQs, ITBs, RFPs, and permissive cooperative procurements through established state technology purchasing agreements.

Recent solicitations span Illinois, California, Washington, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, and Oregon. The Illinois Department of Information Technology posted an RFQ (27448DOITTELECB53267) on July 10, 2026, for fiber-based Metro Ethernet transport connecting a Department of Transportation facility to an Illinois Century Network POP, with a small business set-aside waiver based on demonstrated lack of qualified SBSA vendors and a due date of July 30, 2026; the estimated contract value is $45,000 with 100 MB bandwidth and 99.98% availability required. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued an IFB (250403) on June 29, 2026, for maintenance support on mobile radio and mobile data terminal systems across its paratransit fleet, with bids due July 27, 2026, and an estimated value of $200,000. Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) solicited wireline ethernet or fixed wireless services across 29 sites statewide through an RFQ (26RFQ023) on April 22, 2026, with response due May 12, 2026, requiring current Network Services Agreements and technical addenda for participation. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) competitively bid two discrete 10 Gbps ethernet circuits between Jacksonville and two regional transportation management centers through ITB 15266, with bids due March 24, 2026, and service activation dates in June and October 2026. East Hartford Public Schools in Connecticut solicited point-to-point fiber design and implementation connecting two school buildings through RFP #1901-26, with proposals due March 23, 2026, seeking either leased lit fiber with 10 Gbps scalable to 40 Gbps, leased dark fiber, or category 1 network equipment options.
