UNSPSC 80101601: Feasibility studies or screening of project ideas

UNSPSC 80101601 Feasibility studies or screening of project ideas, a Commodity code, encompasses planning-phase analytical work that state and local governments commission to evaluate the viability and scope of proposed initiatives before committing capital or entering delivery phases. Recent solicitations show governments buying everything from municipal infrastructure and public facility assessments (landfill renewable energy, water treatment plants, solid waste district withdrawals, groundwater resilience) to institutional partnerships and service models (student housing public-private partnerships, school consolidations, area agency on aging restructuring, fire rescue fee programs) to land-use and transportation planning studies (annexation feasibility, downtown pedestrian corridors, regional traffic microsimulation, EV charging infrastructure). The code is actively solicited by state departments, counties, cities, school districts, regional authorities, and special-purpose districts across the United States, with no single issuing body dominating the activity.

Recent opportunities span a geographic cross-section: Snow College (Utah) is soliciting a development feasibility study for student housing due September 11, 2026; Henry County, Georgia is requesting an impact fee study for parks, public safety, and transportation due August 12, 2026; the City of Moab, Utah is seeking a downtown master plan consolidation under RFQ due July 27, 2026; the St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida is soliciting lake restoration strategies studies due July 17, 2026; the City of Austin, Texas is requesting a cost-of-service analysis for development review fees due June 30, 2026; and Tuolumne County, California has issued multiple feasibility and planning RFPs for forest fuels reduction and road safety planning. Across these solicitations, state and local buyers are consistently evaluating technical feasibility, financial viability, stakeholder alignment, and implementation pathways before moving to design or construction phases. No incumbent vendors or repeat award patterns are evident in the recent opportunities block.
