UNSPSC 80161700: Asset recovery service

Services required for disposal of excess assets

UNSPSC 80161700 Asset recovery service is a Class code that encompasses physical inventory, asset auditing, and asset documentation services that state and local governments procure to verify, reconcile, and record tangible equipment, infrastructure, and facility assets across their operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers conducting comprehensive physical counts of fleet vehicles, IT infrastructure equipment, municipal property, and departmental assets to reconcile records, assess conditions, support capital planning, and meet compliance and audit requirements. The issuing bodies span city departments (Atlanta, Detroit, Tacoma), county governments (Broward County, Indian River County, Pasco County), school districts (Tacoma Public Schools, Northside ISD, Pflugerville ISD), state agencies (Mississippi Department of Health), and transit authorities (DDOT), with repeat buyers including the City of Atlanta, which solicited both IT infrastructure maintenance support and fleet inventory services, and Broward County, which issued an indefinite-quantity contract for physical inventory of Port Everglades tangible assets. The work under this code ranges from discrete asset audits (Detroit's seven-location DDOT inventory audit, Broward County's Port Everglades comprehensive physical inventory) to large-scale multi-site surveys (Tacoma Public Schools' 60-facility, 5 million–square-foot asset inventory across schools and administrative buildings) to fleet reconciliation (Atlanta's 6,500–7,000 vehicle inventory across multiple city facilities).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Atlanta), Florida (Broward County, Indian River County), Washington (Tacoma), Michigan (Detroit), Mississippi, Texas (Pflugerville ISD, Northside ISD), and Colorado, with additional opportunities in Kentucky and Massachusetts. Representative solicitations include the City of Atlanta Department of Public Works RFQ (PE66062NONST2026000000390) for comprehensive physical inventory and reconciliation of 6,500–7,000 city-owned fleet assets, proposals due June 19, 2026, estimated contract value not to exceed $225,000; the Detroit Department of Transportation RFP (545164) for comprehensive asset inventory audit across seven locations, proposals due June 1, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward experience (35 points), scheduling (25 points), and methodology (25 points); Broward County's open-end/indefinite-quantity RFP (PEF042726309) for comprehensive physical inventory of Port Everglades tangible equipment assets, proposals due May 29, 2026; and Tacoma Public Schools RFP (RFP26009C) for facility asset inventory services across 60+ sites totaling 5 million square feet, proposals due February 11, 2026, with contract commencement March 1 through August 31, 2026. Solicitations typically require three to five years of relevant experience, site-access security compliance and background checks, detailed photographic documentation, standardized data delivery (often compatible with existing facilities management or work-order systems), and performance timelines ranging from 16 weeks for large fleet counts to six months for multi-site facility surveys.
