UNSPSC 83112502: Terrestrial backbone capacities

UNSPSC 83112502 Terrestrial backbone capacities, a Commodity code, spans point-to-point metro ethernet transport, low-earth orbit satellite connectivity, managed network services, fiber-optic and copper cabling infrastructure, voice-over-IP systems, emergency communications networks, and unified communications platforms serving state and local government operations across multiple jurisdictions. State and local governments procure under this code to build or upgrade last-mile and backbone connectivity for agency networks, emergency operations centers, correctional facilities, schools, transit authorities, and utility systems. Recent opportunities range from Texas Education Agency's hybrid meeting audio-visual services and Fort Bend Independent School District's life-safety MFVN management, to the Washington Military Department's LEO satellite internet procurement for emergency operations and the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology's statewide metro ethernet redundancy contracts across correctional facilities, all reflecting ongoing investments in resilient, multi-modal communications infrastructure.

Issuing bodies include state information technology departments (Texas DIR, Illinois DoIT, Washington WaTech), state agencies (Washington Military Department), regional utilities (Ocala Electric), county governments (San Mateo, Collier, Sauk), municipalities (City of Doral, Austin, Detroit, Ocala), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Temple ISD, Parkway School District), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and specialized districts (Central Health in Travis County, Peachtree City Airport Authority). Texas DIR and the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology appear as repeat buyers, issuing multiple cooperative purchasing vehicles and agency-specific master contracts. Geographic concentration shows significant activity in Texas (state agencies and school districts), Illinois (state infrastructure), Washington (emergency management and broadband), Florida (utilities and county), and California (county parks and health networks). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington Military Department's RFP for 122 to 126 LEO satellite terminals with 24/7 support and 99.9% uptime SLA (due December 3, 2026), Illinois DoIT's IFB for redundant metro ethernet circuits across four Department of Corrections facilities (due October 20, 2026), Texas DIR's cooperative master contract for cabling services and related products across Texas jurisdictions (due September 24, 2026), the City of Doral's ITB for telecommunications wiring and low-voltage cabling services (due September 28, 2026), and San Mateo County's RFP for domain migration and implementation services to transition from smcgov.org to .gov (due November 4, 2026). Contract vehicles span traditional RFPs and IFBs, cooperative purchasing agreements, and indefinite-quantity master contracts; set-asides and preferences include VetHUB, MBE, WBE, DBE, and local-vendor scoring in multiple jurisdictions.
