UNSPSC 83112605: External international lines

UNSPSC 83112605 External international lines, a Commodity code, encompasses fiber-based and wireless point-to-point connectivity services that state and local governments are actively procuring to link remote agency locations and field operations to central telecommunications infrastructure or internet service provider points of presence. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers deploying this code for Metro Ethernet transport, broadband ISP services to correctional facilities and state offices, and managed connectivity to geographically isolated park and field operation sites—work that ranges from last-mile fiber installation to multi-site wireless and satellite solutions. Issuing bodies include state departments of information technology and transportation, county parks and corrections departments, school districts, and transit authorities. The Illinois Department of Information Technology, County of San Mateo Parks Department, Sauk County Wisconsin, Orange County Transportation Authority, and Washington Technology Solutions (procuring on behalf of multiple Washington State agencies) represent recent active buyers under this code. Geographic activity spans multiple regions: Illinois (especially around Century Network Points of Presence in Springfield, Chicago, Rockford, and Champaign), California (San Mateo County), Wisconsin (Sauk County), Washington State (six locations across correctional and state office sites), Florida (Collier County), Texas (statewide through DIR for cellular and satellite services), and Colorado (Denver County for LEO satellite compliance monitoring). The code also captures cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multistate memberships, such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's network systems and supplies catalogs.

Representative recent solicitations include the Illinois Department of Information Technology's July 2026 RFQ for fiber-based Metro Ethernet transport connecting the Department of Transportation's Hardin Bridge location to an Illinois Century Network Point of Presence site, with 100 MB bandwidth requirement and a $45,000 estimated contract value due July 30, 2026; the County of San Mateo Parks Department's RFP for managed broadband connectivity services to remote park locations, due July 3, 2026, employing terrestrial wireless, satellite, or integrated multi-path solutions with 99.5 percent minimum uptime and 10% local preference (micro business set-aside available); the Orange County Transportation Authority's IFB for maintenance support services on mobile radio and mobile data terminal systems across its paratransit fleet, due July 27, 2026, at $200,000 estimated value with DBE goals and Davis-Bacon prevailing wages; and the Texas Department of Information Resources' May 2026 RFO for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services for the Texas Agency Network, due July 23, 2026, with indefinite-quantity multiple-award structure, 2.00% administrative fee, and VetHUB 26 percent subcontracting goal. These opportunities reflect strong regional demand for infrastructure connectivity supporting agency operations, field mobility, and emergency communications across correctional, transportation, parks, and multi-site state agency networks.
