UNSPSC 81130000: Statistics

UNSPSC 81130000 Statistics (Family) encompasses data analysis, statistical consulting, and research services that state and local governments procure to support decision-making, feasibility assessments, and organizational planning. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies using this code to acquire website redesign evaluation, organizational assessments, demographic studies, annexation feasibility analyses, parks and recreation master planning, fire service consolidation studies, and transportation corridor modeling—work that relies on data gathering, analysis, and strategic recommendation. The issuing bodies span cities (Meriden, Connecticut; Gallup, New Mexico; Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Sarasota, Florida; Santa Cruz, California; Dallas, Texas; Apopka, Florida; Fort Myers, Florida), counties (Rockland, New York; Beaufort, South Carolina; Harris, Texas; Hillsborough, Florida; San Mateo, California; Sarasota, Florida; Cuyahoga, Ohio), regional authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, California; Great Lakes Water Authority, Michigan), state agencies (Colorado Department of Natural Resources; Oregon Department of Transportation), and special-purpose districts (Eastern Municipal Water District, California). A standout repeat buyer is OCTA, which has posted multiple data-intensive transportation and planning studies. The code's scope diverges noticeably from its abstract title—the work being bought is less statistical software or data management and more often strategic advisory and research delivered by management consultants, engineers, and planners who generate findings to inform capital projects, organizational restructuring, and service-delivery design.

Recent activity concentrates in California (particularly Southern California and Bay Area), Texas, Colorado, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest, with scattered activity in the Northeast and Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden's RFP027-06 for Website Redesign Services (due August 7, 2026, IFB format, seeking enhanced user experience and ADA compliance); Rockland County's RFP for Architecture/Engineering Design Services for Veterans Cemetery Enhanced Beautification Project (due August 18, 2026, RFP format); the Colorado Department of Natural Resources' ITN for water-management spreadsheet tools (due July 31, 2026, ITN format, budget $100,000 to $87,000 per tool); Beaufort County's RFQ for Fire Service Consolidation Study (due July 9, 2026, RFQ format, evaluating efficiency across four fire agencies); Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for Interstate 5 Corridor Microsimulation (due April 21, 2026, firm-fixed-price $250,000 contract); and the City of Santa Cruz's RFP for Parks and Recreation Department Organizational Assessment (due July 17, 2026, RFP format, requiring five prior similar projects). Many opportunities are structured on as-needed or on-call bases, offering potential for long-term task-order relationships. Set-asides appear selectively—the Colorado ITN offers 5% preference for Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses; Arapahoe Community College's RFQ mandates 80% Colorado labor and prefers Colorado resident vendors; San Mateo County extends local-business preference. Most opportunities do not specify set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise requirements.
