For buyers contracting authority
Reach for 48613000 when the contract is about managing electronic data and records as a whole, rather than buying one named database product. If the deliverable is the underlying engine, that is the database-management system code (48612000); if it is a packaged database product, that is 48611000; if the job is capturing or ingesting data from instruments or feeds, that is data-acquisition (48614000).
The practical trigger is the function. Contracting authorities use this code when they want a system that holds, structures and retrieves records across a service, an electronic document and records solution, a sector information system, or a registry, where the value is in how the data is managed rather than in which database sits beneath it.
One boundary to watch: this is the data-management layer, not a generic IT-services or software-development contract. Where a single tender bundles the management system with custom build work or hosting, set the primary CPV code by whichever element is the dominant purpose of the contract, and reach for the parent (48610000) only when the scope spans the whole database-systems family.
