UNSPSC 81101508: Architectural engineering

UNSPSC 81101508 Architectural engineering is a Commodity code that encompasses architectural and engineering design services, project management, construction administration, and related professional services that state and local governments solicit for capital projects, facility improvements, and infrastructure development. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers contracting for full-scope design through construction-phase services on buildings, water infrastructure, transportation projects, and specialized facilities ranging from senior centers and school renovations to major government office buildings and correctional facilities. Work commonly includes schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting coordination, bid support, and on-site construction administration across multiple disciplines: architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental engineering.

State buyers, university systems, county governments, cities, school districts, special districts (water authorities, transit agencies), and state departments issue the majority of solicitations under this code. The City of Phoenix, California Department of General Services, Florida Department of Corrections, Georgia Department of Transportation, and Texas A&M University System appear as repeat issuers. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, and Arizona, with additional recent opportunities in Oregon, Minnesota, Colorado, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Dallas RFP CIZDWU26241E (due August 21, 2026) for engineering services to develop stormwater and flood protection construction plans; West Basin Municipal Water District RFPTH0128 (due July 14, 2026) for on-call professional engineering services with approximately $3 million estimated value across up to five firms through June 2029; the California Department of General Services RFQ RESD-PMDB 2026-01 for Critical Path Method construction project management on the 10th and O Street Reconfiguration in Sacramento (due August 7, 2026) with approximately $100 million estimated construction cost; Salt Lake Community College SLCC2026W1026 (due July 30, 2026) for A/E services on an office remodel with a $120,000 project budget; and the Texas A&M University System AE RFQ for the Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade (due August 4, 2026) with $10,365,753 available for construction. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body—California emphasizes DVBE and SBE participation goals, Texas mandates HUB subcontracting plans, and several issuers include small-business scoring incentives, but no single uniform preference program applies across the code.
