UNSPSC 80141702: Wholesale distribution services

UNSPSC 80141702 Wholesale distribution services, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification in recent solicitations. The posted opportunities across the source — primarily marketing, communications, public outreach, tourism promotion, and event management services — fall squarely within communications, advertising, and stakeholder engagement work, not wholesale product distribution. This code shows little relevant recent activity; procurement activity under this code appears to reflect a taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine wholesale distribution demand at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities posted under UNSPSC 80141702 span issuing bodies including transportation authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Broward County Transportation Department), municipal governments (City of Thousand Oaks, City of Milpitas, City of New London), state agencies (Texas Education Agency, Texas Workforce Commission, Georgia Department of Natural Resources), universities (Texas A&M University, Prairie View A&M University, East Texas A&M University), convention and visitors bureaus (Broward County, Greater Fort Lauderdale), and special-purpose districts (Monterey-Salinas Transit, Great Lakes Water Authority). Representative solicitations include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250350 for public outreach services for the Measure M Environmental Mitigation Program (due July 13, 2026), the Texas Education Agency's RFO 701-26-009 for Open Education Resources Marketing services (due May 6, 2026), and Broward County Transportation Department's RFP TRN2131774P1 for consulting services supporting its Bus Rapid Transit Program (due July 17, 2026). Geographic spread is broad across California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, South Dakota, Michigan, and Connecticut, with no concentration in any single state or region.
