UNSPSC 80131601: Real estate brokers or agents

UNSPSC 80131601 Real estate brokers or agents is a Commodity code capturing state and local demand for licensed real estate advisory and transaction services spanning property sales, acquisitions, leasing, market analysis, and brokerage representation. Recent solicitations show city and county procurement offices purchasing brokerage services to support property dispositions, site identification for government operations, and transaction negotiation on behalf of municipalities, school districts, and state agencies—work that diverges markedly from the traditional buy-side residential or commercial brokerage model.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Connecticut, Utah, and Texas, with repeat issuing bodies including the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (multiple lease-proposal solicitations for office space to house state agencies), city procurement offices in Torrington and Norwalk, Connecticut, and university and municipal economic development departments. Representative opportunities include the Provo City School District requesting commercial real estate brokerage services to support property acquisition, sales, and leasing across Utah County (RFP, responses due September 25, 2026); the City of West Jordan requesting acquisition and negotiation advisory services for residential and commercial transactions (RFP, due July 21, 2026); the City of Scottsdale Aviation Department seeking real estate brokerage consulting for aviation property leasing, acquisition support, and market analysis (RFP, due June 11, 2026); and the State of Connecticut Department of Administrative Services soliciting multiple concurrent office-lease proposals from property owners across Hartford County, New Britain, Willimantic, and other locations (invitation-to-submit lease proposals, staggered deadlines from May through September 2026). The Connecticut lease solicitations represent demand for space brokers willing to submit property offerings directly to government lessees rather than traditional buyer representation. Participation incentives vary; Connecticut and Connecticut-based municipalities encourage MBE, WBE, and SBE participation without formal set-asides, while Utah and Arizona jurisdictions impose no stated preferences. License requirements and insurance thresholds ($1–3 million in professional liability and general liability) are standard across most issues.
