UNSPSC 80131801: Property management

UNSPSC 80131801 Property management (Commodity tier) encompasses the full-service operation and lease administration of multifamily residential, mixed-use, and institutional properties on behalf of public entities and their agencies. State and local governments buy professional property management across diverse portfolios—affordable housing, senior communities, market-rate family housing, permanent supportive housing for homeless populations, employee housing at universities, airport facilities, and historic sites—with contractors assuming responsibility for tenant relations, financial reporting, maintenance coordination, lease enforcement, regulatory compliance, and 24/7 emergency response. The code is active across housing authorities, city and county departments, university systems, school districts, airport authorities, and special districts, with solicitations ranging from single-asset management to qualified vendor pools spanning dozens of properties and hundreds of units.

Recent opportunities show strong activity in the Southwest and Southeast. The Housing Authority of Salt Lake City (RFP #26-024, due August 1, 2026) seeks a qualified pool of three to four multifamily property management firms for affordable, mixed-income, and supportive-housing assignment; the City of Phoenix (RFQ due August 7, 2026) requests qualifications for housing services including property management for formerly homeless populations under DBE-Neutral small business participation; and George Mason University (RFP GMU-KS0501-26, due July 7, 2026) is replacing Lincoln Property Management and Willowbridge with separate contracts for 248,892 square feet of commercial Arlington properties and 185 residential units in Fairfax and Manassas, Virginia. The Illinois Housing Development Authority renewed a $559,872 three-year on-demand property management contract with Hispanic Housing Development Corporation (effective August 2026). Geographic spread spans California (Alameda AHA, Santa Clara County), Texas (Hays CISD, City of Austin, Integral Care), Florida (FGCU, City of Tampa), Georgia (City of Atlanta DEAM), Colorado, Wisconsin, and multiple other jurisdictions. Evaluation weights typically emphasize relevant experience with federal funding streams (LIHTC, PBV, HOME, CoC), key personnel qualifications, technical approach including technology systems integration, transition readiness, and cost competitiveness, with incumbents frequently competing for renewal.
