UNSPSC 80171504: Stakeholder analysis

Public relations consultation services relating to the provision of stakeholder analysis services

UNSPSC 80171504 Stakeholder analysis is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of research and advisory services focused on analyzing, surveying, and assessing organizational constituencies—primarily employees, customers, residents, and other stakeholder populations—to inform strategic planning, policy development, and operational improvements. Recent activity shows governments soliciting market research, employee feedback mechanisms, organizational assessments, and feasibility studies grounded in stakeholder input, rather than the narrower abstract of "stakeholder analysis" alone. Cities, counties, utilities, state departments, and special authorities are the primary buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's compensation and classification study (RFP, due July 22, 2014) covering employee job questionnaires, interviews, and market-rate surveys to establish equitable pay structures; the Kissimmee Utility Authority's customer satisfaction survey (RFQ, due January 26, 2026) measuring residential and commercial customer opinions across 200+ telephone and digital surveys; Pinellas County's AI strategic roadmap engagement (RFP, due September 15, 2026) requiring organizational-readiness assessment and stakeholder consultation across multiple county functions; and the City of Fayetteville's paired classification and compensation studies (RFQ, due October 30, 2026) for public safety and non-public safety positions using RFP format. Geographic activity clusters in Florida (DeBary, Kissimmee, Tampa/Pinellas County area), Georgia (Fayetteville, multiple Atlanta-area initiatives), and scattered state-level work.

The mix of issuing bodies spans utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), cities (DeBary, Fayetteville, Pooler, LaGrange, Moab, Cooper City, Phoenix), counties (Pinellas County, Gwinnett County, Fairfax County, Montgomery County, Sacramento County, San Mateo County), state departments (Florida DOT, Oregon DOF&W, Texas Education Agency, Mississippi Department of Health), transit authorities (City of Phoenix Sky Harbor), and special districts (Invest Atlanta, Atlanta BeltLine). Utilities and mid-sized municipalities appear frequently, along with county agencies conducting strategic planning. Florida and Georgia account for the densest recent posting activity, with secondary concentrations in Texas, Oregon, Utah, and Virginia. The code shows sustained procurement momentum across the past four months, reflecting strong organizational appetite for data-driven decision-making.
