UNSPSC 81102201: Traffic engineering

UNSPSC 81102201 Traffic engineering is a Commodity code that captures state and local demand for transportation-safety engineering design, active-transportation planning, intelligent-transportation systems analysis, traffic-signal installation and optimization, corridor and network redesign, and congestion-management data collection. Recent opportunities show municipalities, counties, regional planning organizations, and transit authorities soliciting engineering consultants to design pedestrian and bicycle facilities, upgrade traffic-signal systems, develop safety action plans, perform travel-demand and microsimulation modeling, and conduct traffic-data collection and analysis. The work spans preliminary feasibility assessments, conceptual and final design phases, environmental and NEPA documentation, permitting support, construction administration and inspection, and specialized studies including safety audits and quick-build demonstration projects aligned with Vision Zero, Safe Streets and Roads for All, and multimodal transportation planning mandates. GDOT prequalification in relevant area classes—particularly roadway design, traffic operations, bicycle and pedestrian facility design, and ITS—remains a common eligibility filter in Georgia and surrounding states, though Florida, Arizona, Connecticut, and other jurisdictions impose their own state or local engineering prequalification and licensure requirements.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments of transportation, county public-works and transportation departments, cities and towns, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), regional councils, and special-purpose transit and port authorities. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Cobb County, Winder, Peachtree Corners, Atlanta, Savannah, Chatham County), Florida (Orange County, Pinellas County, Orlando, Walton County), Arizona (Tolleson, Prescott Valley), and California (Hayward, San Mateo, Brownsville), with additional opportunities in Connecticut, South Carolina, Oregon, Utah, and Texas. Representative current solicitations include Cobb County's Factory Shoals Pedestrian Bridge Phase 1 RFQ (SOQs due November 12, 2026) seeking GDOT-prequalified design consultants for a 210-foot shared-use path; the City of Cleveland's Active Transportation Quick Build Design Services RFP (proposals due November 11, 2026) offering $1.0 million for design of separated bicycle facilities, pedestrian crossing enhancements, and traffic-calming elements; the City of Orlando's Safe Speeds Lab RQS (submissions due November 5, 2026) seeking preliminary engineering and quick-build design for a 40-mile Vision Zero program; and Orange County, Florida's John Young Parkway ITS upgrade design services RFP (due September 15, 2026) valued at $1.017 million for design of 19 signalized intersections with advanced detection, video analytics, and adaptive control systems. Wasatch Front Regional Council and Mountainland Association of Governments are building a prequalified planning and model-development consultant pool (SOQs due November 19, 2026) covering travel-demand modeling, active transportation plans, and station-area planning for three programs serving municipalities in Utah. Activity remains robust across design, permitting, and construction-support phases through early 2027, with strong emphasis on federal grant-funded safety and active-transportation projects.
