UNSPSC 81102702: Process control system design and engineering service

Service to design and engineer process control systems. Examples include Distributed Control Systems DCS, Safety Instrumented Systems SIS and SCADA systems.

UNSPSC 81102702 Process control system design and engineering service (Commodity) covers independent cost estimating, SCADA system modernization, and specialized engineering design services for infrastructure and utility projects that state and local governments are actively procuring. Recent opportunities span water treatment plant automation upgrades, alternative delivery project cost estimation, pedestrian bridge design, stormwater system improvements, and process control documentation for transportation and water utilities, with issuing bodies including state departments of transportation, county transportation authorities, municipal water utilities, transit agencies, and city public works departments primarily across Georgia and Florida.

Georgia Department of Transportation solicitations dominate recent activity in this code, with GDOT issuing parallel RFQs in October 2026 for Independent Cost Estimating services supporting the I-285 East Express Lanes P3 project and statewide alternative delivery programs—due November 16, 2026—alongside design services for pedestrian bridges at the City of Winder (SOQs due November 19, 2026) and Cobb County's Factory Shoals Pedestrian Bridge (SOQs due November 12, 2026). The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation issued a Qualifications-Based Selection for PATH Lakewood trail design on October 14, 2026 (proposals due October 30), while the City of Atlanta Department of Water requested SCADA system modernization proposals for Chattahoochee and Hemphill Water Treatment Plants (both due October 14, 2026). Construction engineering and inspection services appear regularly across Florida municipalities—Monroe County's Key Deer Boulevard roadway rehabilitation CEI (proposals due November 24, 2026), the City of Pompano Beach's SR A1A Improvements CEI (responses due November 10, 2026), the City of Kissimmee's Complete Streets Phase 1 CEI (qualifications due July 9, 2026), and the City of Winter Park's CEI services RFQ (due April 14, 2026)—alongside continuing professional services panels in Fort Myers for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design (due April 1, 2026) and material testing services (due May 23, 2025). Activity is heaviest in Georgia and Florida; scattered opportunities appear in Arizona, California, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The code sees steady procurement volume across state departments of transportation, county capital programs offices, municipal water and wastewater utilities, and regional transit authorities, with repeat Georgia buyers and Florida municipal water systems as standout participants.
