UNSPSC 81101607: Textile engineering service

Includes design and advice consultancy for textile plants, development of dimensions and features of textile machinery, development and monitoring of textile projects.

UNSPSC 81101607 Textile engineering service is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this designation in recent state and local opportunities. The opportunities tagged with this code cover a broad range of engineering and professional services—including independent cost estimating for alternative delivery projects, architectural and engineering design for pedestrian bridges and recreation centers, construction engineering and inspection for roadway and utility infrastructure, water treatment plant improvements, stormwater management, and facility assessments. None of these opportunities involve textile engineering, fiber design, fabric properties, or any work traditionally associated with textile production or materials science. The code appears to be a cataloging error across multiple issuing bodies, as the substantive procurements under this designation are generic design and engineering services, not textile-specific work.

Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (Georgia, Texas), county governments (Okaloosa, Cherokee, Chatham, Beaufort, Hillsborough in Florida), municipal planning and public works departments (Atlanta, Fort Myers, Winder, Kissimmee, Winter Park, Sanford, Green Cove Springs, Daytona Beach, West Linn, Pompano Beach, Leesburg), university systems (University of West Georgia, Texas State University, UT San Antonio, UT El Paso), water and transit authorities (West Basin Municipal Water District, South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, Orlando Utilities Commission), and school districts (Pinellas County, Hillsborough County). Geographic spread spans Georgia (the highest concentration of recent activity), Florida (second highest), and dispersed activity across Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, New Mexico, New South Carolina, and New Jersey. Representative recent solicitations include the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator services supporting the I-285 East Express Lanes Public-Private Partnership project (due November 16, 2026), the City of Atlanta's RFP for design-build delivery of a new Chastain Park Parking Garage (due November 6, 2026), and the City of Fort Myers' RFQ for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design services on a continuing contract basis. The volume and geographic breadth of recent opportunities under this code suggest either widespread miscoding or an artifact of state procurement taxonomy that bears no relationship to textile manufacturing or engineering specialties.
