About UNSPSC 81000000
UNSPSC 81000000 Engineering and Research and Technology Based Services, a Segment code, spans the full breadth of engineering design, research, feasibility studies, and specialized technical consulting that state and local governments procure for capital projects, infrastructure planning, and operational support. State and local buyers use this code for architectural and engineering services across transportation, water systems, facility planning, environmental assessment, and specialized consulting disciplines—everything from preliminary engineering reports through construction administration and inspection. Current solicitations show demand across multiple engineering domains: design of PFAS water treatment facilities, sewer system expansions, pedestrian bridges and multi-use trails, parking structures, recreation centers, stormwater drainage improvements, airport materials testing, geospatial data services, and construction engineering inspection services on major roadway and utility projects.
Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (Georgia Department of Transportation, Texas State University on behalf of state higher education), counties (Orange County California, Monroe County Florida, Okaloosa County Florida, Hamilton County Indiana, Wicomico County Maryland, Tuolumne County California, Escambia County Florida), cities (Atlanta, Columbus, Phoenix, Fort Myers, West Linn, Daytona Beach, Green Cove Springs, Winder, Pompano Beach, Pomfret, Orlando Utilities Commission), university systems (University of Rhode Island, Texas State University, University of Texas at El Paso, University of Texas at San Antonio), municipal water and utility districts (West Basin Municipal Water District), and special-purpose authorities (Metropolitan Council Minnesota). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Southwest (Arizona, Utah, Texas), and Midwest (Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota) with scattered mid-Atlantic and Northeast solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator (ICE) services supporting alternative delivery and P3 projects with statements due November 16, 2026; the University of Rhode Island's RFP for a permanent PFAS water treatment facility design-build with proposals due November 19, 2026; Cobb County Department of Transportation's RFQ for engineering design services on the Factory Shoals Pedestrian Bridge Phase 1 with statements due November 12, 2026; Eagle Mountain City's RFQ for 100% design and engineering of a sewer trunkline and effluent disposal line with proposals due November 4, 2026; and the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for design-build delivery of a Chastain Park Parking Garage with proposals due November 6, 2026. Activity remains steady across both small municipal engineering task-order vehicles and large, multi-phase infrastructure design projects.
