UNSPSC 81102701: Fire and gas monitoring and control system engineering service

Service to design and engineer fire and gas monitoring and control systems

UNSPSC 81102701 Fire and gas monitoring and control system engineering service is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fire protection system design, inspection, testing, maintenance, repair, and replacement services under this code, with recent opportunities reflecting a mix of sprinkler-system work, fire alarm and detection upgrades, and comprehensive fire protection engineering on new construction and renovation projects. The issuing bodies include counties (Collin County, Pinellas County, Marion County, Seminole County), cities (Fort Myers, San Antonio, Madison, Meriden, Union City), independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Hutto Independent School District), and special-purpose authorities (Maricopa County Community College District, Boulder County Housing Authority). Sprinkler replacement and fire pump inspection dominate the work stream; representative solicitations include Collin County's sealed bid for institutional sprinkler-head replacement in jail cells under IFB 2026-389 with a response deadline of November 19, 2026, and an opinion of probable cost of $150,000, and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 26349-RFP-MST for fire protection system services (inspections, maintenance, repairs of sprinkler and CO2 systems across 235 schools) with a response deadline of October 5, 2026, requiring structural separation of inspection and repair vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County, Marion County, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Fort Myers) and Texas (Collin County, San Antonio), with additional opportunities in Colorado (Boulder County Housing Authority), Connecticut (Meriden, Norwich Free Academy), Georgia (multiple jurisdictions), and Utah (Orem). The Fort Myers RSQ 26-011 establishes a three-year on-call continuing contract for MEP and fire protection design and support engineering services with task-order assignment; San Antonio's RFQ 26-101 solicits on-call MEP/FP engineering for city-owned facilities with a November 16, 2026 response date; and the Boulder County Housing Authority SOQ 29026 seeks comprehensive fire protection services (backflow certifications, fire pump testing, fire extinguisher inspection, sprinkler and alarm system testing, 24-hour monitoring, suppression system inspections) across 23 properties with a June 8, 2026 deadline. MBE and SBE participation is encouraged or scored in multiple recent solicitations (Fort Myers awards 13 points for MBE compliance on City-funded work; Pinellas County fire protection work awards 100 points for SBE status). Prevailing wage, insurance, and NFPA compliance standards appear across nearly all opportunities; E-Verify is standard.
