UNSPSC 81101700: Electrical and electronic engineering

UNSPSC 81101700 Electrical and electronic engineering is a Class code encompassing the full range of electrical design, engineering, and systems work that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, facility, and utility projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing electrical design services for streetlighting and LED fixture upgrades, high-voltage transmission and distribution system engineering, low-voltage IT/AV and security systems installation, electrical service maintenance and renovation across school districts and municipal facilities, energy storage system design and commissioning, emergency communication system testing and certification, and comprehensive electrical engineering consulting on an as-needed basis for capital improvement programs. The code spans both design-phase engineering (preliminary design through construction documents and cost estimation) and construction-phase services (construction administration, shop drawing review, systems integration, testing and commissioning).

Issuing bodies are diverse and include state departments of transportation, county utilities commissions and solid waste authorities, city public works and schools departments, regional water authorities, transit agencies, and special-purpose districts. Recent repeat buyers include the County of Orange in California (which has posted multiple A/E service QVLs and task-order contracts for architectural and engineering work across county departments and the flood control district), various Florida municipalities and utilities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Orlando Utilities Commission, Pinellas County, City of Fort Myers, City of Sarasota), Atlanta Public Schools, and Texas state entities. Geographic spread is nationwide with notable recent activity in Florida (conduit installation, energy storage, microgrid systems, facilities design), California (Orange County A/E services, airport materials testing), Georgia (GDOT ITS engineering, school electrical services, water facility design), and Connecticut (school HVAC and mechanical design). Representative recent opportunities include Kissimmee Utility Authority's RFP 26036JG for continuing conduit installation services (due July 28, 2026), the County of Orange California RFQ for architect-engineer contract administration services (due November 5, 2026), Atlanta Public Schools' electrical service IFB for district-wide maintenance and repair across 87 schools and 13 administrative buildings (due October 26, 2026), and the State of Nevada Colorado River Commission's RFP for high-voltage system engineering services on an as-needed basis (due October 26, 2026).
