UNSPSC 83112604: Dial access services

UNSPSC 83112604 Dial access services is a Commodity code covering voice and data telecommunications connectivity solutions that state and local governments procure to link remote or distributed facilities to central networks, emergency services infrastructure, and data hubs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing metro ethernet transport, broadband ISP services, VoIP telephone systems, wireless field connectivity, satellite communications, inmate telephone and video systems, and related telecommunications equipment and support. The issuing bodies span state information technology departments, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts, with repeat activity from Illinois Department of Information Technology, Hillsborough County (Florida), and Washington state agencies. Work solicited under this code ranges from last-mile fiber connectivity between agency locations and network points of presence, to managed broadband for geographically isolated facilities, to turnkey inmate communication systems with video and tablet components.

Recent opportunities originate primarily in Illinois, Florida, Washington, Texas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, and Missouri, with Illinois particularly active through its Department of Information Technology soliciting metro ethernet and broadband services. Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Information Technology's RFQ for fiber-based Metro Ethernet transport to connect the Department of Transportation's Hardin Bridge location to an Illinois Century Network POP site (due July 30, 2026, estimated contract value $45,000); San Mateo County Parks Department's RFP for managed broadband connectivity services for remote field operations with 99.5% uptime requirements (due July 3, 2026, with local preference ordinance applying); Sauk County, Wisconsin's RFP for an inmate telephone, video visitation, kiosk, and tablet system at the county jail with proposals due August 26, 2026; and Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB for maintenance support on mobile radio and mobile data terminal systems for a paratransit fleet (due July 27, 2026, estimated $200,000 for one-year term). Washington state agencies through WaTech have posted multiple RFQs for broadband ISP services, wireline ethernet, and fixed wireless services across six sites in correctional and state office locations. Collier County's single-source procurement for satellite-based phone communications with push-to-talk capability through Skybase Communications (term through July 22, 2031) and Texas TJJD's RFO for a juvenile offender telephone and video call system across five state facilities and three halfway houses (due April 24, 2026) represent the infrastructure and life-safety focus of many jurisdictions under this code.
