UNSPSC 80171604: Public information campaign service

Public relations consultation services relating to managing public information campaigns

UNSPSC 80171604 Public information campaign service is a Commodity code capturing state and local government procurement of targeted public awareness, outreach, and communications services for infrastructure projects, transit operations, educational initiatives, and agency missions. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying strategic campaign development, multilingual community engagement, social media content creation, press release and media relations support, event coordination, and branded messaging across transportation, environmental, housing, public safety, and economic development portfolios.

State departments dominate the issuing-body mix, alongside regional transit authorities, county governments, and municipal agencies. The Florida Department of Transportation appears multiple times as a repeat buyer—District 4 has issued at least two solicitations for modal development special projects communication and outreach (most recently IN17201 and RFP16724), and District 6 issued RFP17161 for districtwide public strategic communications consulting on construction projects with a $1.5 million ceiling. Beyond Florida, recent opportunities span California (California Air Resources Board, California Department of Food and Agriculture, California Department of Highway Patrol), Washington (Department of Commerce), Texas (Space Coast Area Transit, City of Huntsville), Oregon (Orange County Transportation Authority), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Michigan (Great Lakes Water Authority), Arizona (Broward County, Orange County Transportation Authority), Illinois (Board and Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board), Utah (Division of Purchasing, Governor's Office of Economic Development), and South Carolina (Broward County Transportation Department). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary clusters in Washington and the Pacific Southwest. The Florida Department of Transportation District 4's RFP16724 (technical proposals due September 14, 2026, price proposals due October 12, 2026) targets five counties with a five-year indefinite-quantity contract at $1.5 million total ($300,000 annually), while the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250187 (proposals due February 23, 2026) valued public outreach consulting for rail capital projects at $801,000 over four years plus optional two-year renewal. The California Department of Food and Agriculture's Cannabis Appellations Program education and outreach (RFP 26-0007-A, proposals due June 29, 2026) budgeted $100,000 for two years with optional one-year renewal. Current activity shows strong federal and state grant-backed initiatives—Federal Transit Administration funding appears in multiple transit authority solicitations, Federal Emergency Management Agency grants fund energy resilience outreach in Washington, and EPA Multipurpose Brownfields Grants support community engagement in Georgia.
