UNSPSC 71161609: Asset management inspection service

A term used to describe the practice of managing an asset (power plant, oil rig, refinery, etc) to ensure its ability to perform its function effectively and efficiently is maintained.

UNSPSC 71161609 Asset management inspection service is a Commodity code that covers independent cost estimation, construction engineering and inspection, facilities assessment, and technical inspection services supporting state and local capital projects—work being actively solicited across transportation, water infrastructure, stormwater, airport operations, and facility rehabilitation initiatives. State and local agencies soliciting under this code span transportation departments, city engineering divisions, county capital programs offices, utilities, and special-purpose districts. Georgia Department of Transportation is the standout repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFQs for Independent Cost Estimator services supporting alternative delivery and express lanes projects, with response deadlines in late October and November 2026, alongside RFQs for Construction Engineering and Inspection on Intelligent Transportation Systems and General Engineering Consulting for alternative delivery programs. Beyond Georgia, recent activity includes the Orlando Utilities Commission seeking post-disaster safety assessment and damage documentation following hurricanes (due November 1, 2026); Hillsborough County, Florida seeking construction materials testing and subsurface investigation services valued at $6 million (due November 3, 2026); and Sarasota County soliciting CEI services for bridge rehabilitation and stormwater facilities (due September and October 2026). The code shows concentrated recent activity in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity across Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and the Northeast reflecting infrastructure assessment and construction oversight demand.

Recent representative opportunities span both broad asset management and project-specific CEI scopes. The Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator services in support of alternative delivery and P3 projects (PE48401RFQ2027000000632, due November 16, 2026) seeks contractor-style, production-based cost estimating expertise on the I-285 East Express Lanes project with a single multi-phase award, requiring ten years of HCSS-based estimating experience and proficiency in CM/GC, Design-Build, and P3 delivery methods.

The City of Pompano Beach's RFQ for Construction Engineering and Inspection on the SR A1A Improvements Project (RLI27003, due November 10, 2026) emphasizes FDOT prequalification and CTQP certifications for inspection personnel, with local business preference points available to Tier 1 Pompano Beach vendors.
