UNSPSC 81121504: Economic forecasts

UNSPSC 81121504 Economic forecasts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code for economic impact analyses, workforce and labor market research, feasibility studies for major municipal initiatives (annexation, watershed management, community development), tax increment financing compliance support, and investment advisory services for public employee retirement and benefit plans. The scope spans economic contribution assessments (Oregon's creative economy analysis, TRS pension impact studies), workforce demand forecasting, real estate and infrastructure feasibility analyses, and financial modeling for municipal tax and fee structures. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon, Texas, California, Illinois, Florida), counties (Galveston, Orange, Palm Beach, Beaufort, Collier), cities (Sarasota, Apopka, Stockbridge, College Park, St. Cloud, Columbus, Santa Cruz), housing authorities, school districts, and special districts (transit authorities, fire districts). Recent activity shows strong demand across state-level procurement offices and municipal finance and planning departments.

Geographic concentration spans Florida (multiple county and city opportunities), Texas (state and municipal level), Georgia (DeKalb, Stockbridge, Atlanta-area jurisdictions), California (Santa Cruz, Ontario Airport Authority), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington).
