UNSPSC 81101700: Electrical and electronic engineering

UNSPSC 81101700 Electrical and electronic engineering is a Class code covering the full range of electrical design, engineering, and consulting services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, facility, and operational projects. Recent state and local solicitations show demand spanning electrical system design for buildings and utilities, electrical distribution infrastructure assessment and remediation, instrumentation and telemetry systems, control systems testing and commissioning, and design support across mechanical-electrical-plumbing disciplines for water treatment, wastewater, transit, airports, and education facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida DMS, Georgia DOT, Utah Transit Authority, Texas A&M System), counties (Orange, DeKalb, Pinellas, Palm Beach, Madison, Harris, Bergen, Broward), cities (Phoenix, Stamford, Santa Cruz, Brownsville, Berlin, San Marcos, Social Circle), school districts (Frederick County, Harlandale, Pinellas), water and utility districts (West Basin, Palm Beach County Water Utilities, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), and special-purpose agencies (Port Everglades, HCTRA). Orange County, California appears as a standout repeat buyer across multiple recent solicitations establishing Qualified Vendor Lists for various engineering disciplines.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County dominant), Florida (multiple water utility and port districts), Texas (university system, HCTRA, school districts), Georgia (DOT, counties), Connecticut (cities, schools), and Utah (transit authority). Representative recent opportunities include the State of Utah Division of Purchasing RFP SB26-6 for construction project management services (due August 20, 2026) where K-12 schools represent 55.5 percent of historical usage and the contract carries a cooperative purchasing vehicle for eligible state and local users; the City of Brownsville RFQ for turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction of middle-mile fiber optic network expansion (due August 18, 2026) under a design-build delivery model; West Basin Municipal Water District's RFQ for on-call professional engineering services across civil, structural, mechanical, process, electrical, and architectural disciplines (due July 14, 2026) with approximately $3 million estimated value shared among up to five awarded consultants; and the County of Orange's series of RFQs for architect-engineer task order contracts covering flood control, cost estimating, mechanical-electrical-plumbing design support, and land surveying (due dates ranging from July through September 2026, with three-year base terms and multiple-award provisions). The code shows active, diversified demand across water infrastructure, buildings, transportation systems, and facility upgrades, with many procurements structured as on-call or task-order vehicles rather than single fixed-scope engagements.
