UNSPSC 81131501: Factor analysis

UNSPSC 81131501 Factor analysis is a Commodity code encompassing quantitative analysis, modeling, and consulting services that state and local governments procure to inform financial, operational, and strategic decisions. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a diverse range of analytical work: capital modeling and risk quantification for public entity risk pools; cost allocation plan development for state agencies; arbitrage compliance analysis for county bond management; procurement disparity studies for counties and school districts; demographic analysis for school districts; and water demand forecasting for municipal utilities. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Office of the Governor, Washington Department of Revenue, Nevada Department of Education), counties (Okaloosa County, Fairfax County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Dallas), school districts (Alief ISD), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and special-purpose entities (Cooperative Insurance Services, a public entity risk pool). Work scope runs from technical compliance analysis—such as arbitrage rebate calculations under IRC Section 148 or unclaimed property audits under state statute—to strategic planning support including rideshare program consulting, water resources planning across six service categories, and disparity analysis to enhance procurement equity.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, with scattered additional solicitations in Nevada and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's July 2026 RFP for ridership program consulting services (two-year contract, $380,000, FTA-funded), the Washington State Department of Revenue's June 2026 RFP for unclaimed property auditing and collection across five counties (three-year initial term, 10% contingency fee on property recovered), the City of Dallas's July 2026 RFP for parking citation and permit management with mobile payment integration (three years plus two one-year renewal options), Cooperative Insurance Services's July 2026 RFP for enterprise risk management and capital modeling (proposals due July 13, finalist interviews July 27–31), and Okaloosa County's July 2026 ITQ for arbitrage consulting services on tax-exempt bond compliance (one year renewable for up to four additional years). Fairfax County issued an RFP due July 24, 2026, for procurement disparity study services, and the Texas Office of the Governor issued dual RFPs in April 2026 for indirect cost allocation plan services (due March 23) and statewide cost allocation plan services (due March 24), both with May deliverables and contract terms extending through August 2027 with optional renewals.
