UNSPSC 80101600: Project management

UNSPSC 80101600 Project management is a Class code covering consulting services for planning, feasibility studies, program management, and project oversight across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments procure project management primarily through RFPs and RFQs for discrete studies—annexation feasibility analyses, comprehensive plan updates, feasibility assessments for infrastructure and service delivery changes—and for owner's representative and construction project management on public capital projects. Recent activity shows steady demand for planning consultants, feasibility study managers, and construction project oversight professionals across municipal and county governments, with particular concentration in comprehensive planning updates, infrastructure feasibility work, and capital project delivery.

The issuing bodies span city and county governments, state departments, regional authorities, and special-purpose districts. Representative recent solicitations include Henry County, Georgia's RFP for impact fee study consulting (due August 12, 2026), the City of Moab's RFQ for downtown master plan consolidation (due July 27, 2026), the Washington State Department of Commerce's RFP for statewide economic development strategic planning (due August 10, 2026), the City of Olathe, Kansas's RFP for unified development ordinance update (due July 1, 2026), and the City of Fayetteville, Georgia's RFP for comprehensive annexation feasibility study (due July 31, 2026). Geographic activity is distributed across multiple states—Georgia (Henry County, Fayetteville, Invest Atlanta), Texas (H-GAC, Fort Myers), Massachusetts (Town of Yarmouth, Boston, Stamford), Washington, Utah, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and Connecticut—with no single state dominating the recent opportunity flow. Procurement appears active in summer 2026 across the full range of planning and feasibility work, suggesting continued demand for project management consulting in state and local procurement.
