UNSPSC 64131501: Basic agreement

A written instrument of understanding, negotiated between parties that contains contract clauses applying to future contracts between the parties during its term and contemplates separate future contracts that will incorporate by reference or attachment the required and applicable clauses agreed upon in the basic agreement. A basic agreement is not a contract.

UNSPSC 64131501 Basic agreement is a Commodity code that encompasses management and operations contracts for community-development and social-service programs, as well as professional services agreements for legislative advocacy, executive recruitment, and specialized technical services that state and local governments establish as ongoing frameworks for service delivery. State and local procurement under this code spans counties, cities, nonprofits operating under subrecipient agreements, and specialized government departments seeking to establish partnerships with private or nonprofit entities to deliver housing rehabilitation, behavioral-health diversion programming, community services, and administrative support functions. The code captures work ranging from managing single-family owner-occupied rehabilitation projects funded through HOME and CDBG programs to administering statewide pre-arrest diversion initiatives, providing public-services activities in homeless services and substance-abuse support, and securing executive search or legislative representation services through competitive procurement.

Hillsborough County, Florida emerges as a significant repeat issuer under this code, with multiple solicitations in early 2026 for affordable-housing rehabilitation management (RFP2600332, due August 5, 2026, with $7.5 million total allocation and up to $2.5 million per award), CDBG public-facilities construction (RFP2600133, due February 25, 2026, with $3 million estimated allocation), HOME and HOME-ARP housing activities (RFP2600141, due February 25, 2026, with $2 million estimated allocation), and CDBG public services (RFP2600139, due February 25, 2026, with $600,000 estimated allocation). The Colorado Department of Human Services, Behavioral Health Administration also appears as a repeat buyer, issuing a Request for Applications for the FY26 PREVAIL diversion program (RFPIBEH20260001822 and RFPIBEH20260001821, due April 7, 2026, with up to $475,000 or $650,000 per award depending on application structure) and a Documented Quote Request for database hosting to support that program (DQ1IBEH20260004031, due April 25, 2026, within a $50,000 annual envelope). Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Colorado, with secondary activity in Georgia (City of Garden City legislative lobbying RFP, due July 2, 2026; City of College Park executive search RFP 26-37, due February 18, 2026) and Oregon (ODOT ESB crack-seal contracts, due March 3 and March 9, 2026). Hillsborough County emphasizes subrecipient agreements with experience requirements, performance history review, and federal compliance (Davis-Bacon, Build America Buy America, Section 3) across housing and community-development programs. Colorado's PREVAIL contracts prioritize organizational capacity, data-system integration, and harm-reduction case management within constrained annual budgets. The code shows ongoing activity through mid-2026 concentrated on housing, behavioral-health services, and government-operations support.
