UNSPSC 81102200: Transportation engineering

UNSPSC 81102200 Transportation engineering is a Class code covering transportation planning, design, and advisory services that state and local governments procure to support roadway improvements, transit planning, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, safety assessments, and related corridor and network studies. Recent opportunities show active demand across multiple issuing bodies—county departments of transportation, cities, metropolitan planning organizations, and regional transit authorities—soliciting work on sidewalk expansion, traffic signal upgrades, pedestrian bridge design, transit route analysis, Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grants, and multimodal facility design. The scope is heavily weighted toward preliminary and final design services, construction administration, environmental documentation, utility coordination, and feasibility studies rather than construction execution itself.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions with concentration in the Southeast and California. Cobb County Department of Transportation in Georgia is soliciting engineering design for the Factory Shoals Pedestrian Bridge Phase 1 under RFQ B2464 with qualifications due November 12, 2026; the City of Cleveland is requesting Active Transportation Quick Build Design Services through RFP 2025RFP158 with proposals due November 11, 2026 and a $1,000,000 contract ceiling; the City of Winder, Georgia is seeking pedestrian bridge preconstruction engineering design services with SOQs due November 19, 2026; and Berkshire Regional Planning Commission in Massachusetts is requesting a routes analysis and microtransit integration study with proposals due November 20, 2026 at up to $155,000. Additional recent solicitations include the City of Orlando's Safe Speeds Lab transportation engineering services (RQS27-0008, due November 5, 2026), the City of Hayward's Systemic Traffic Signals Improvements Project design services (RFP 26-055, due October 16, 2026), and the Atlanta Regional Commission's notice of funding availability for FTA Section 5310 senior and disability transportation services (NOFA800, proposals due November 9, 2026). Issuing bodies range from state departments of transportation to municipal engineering offices and MPOs, with Georgia and Florida showing significant recent activity. Qualifications-based selection and two-phase evaluation processes (qualifications followed by technical approach) are common across the sample.
