UNSPSC 81131502: Multivariate analysis

UNSPSC 81131502 Multivariate analysis is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure quantitative analysis, statistical modeling, and data-driven consulting services—most commonly for fiscal forecasting, risk assessment, disparity studies, and operational planning rather than academic research. The code captures the work of consultants and firms performing statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and data interpretation on behalf of transit authorities, counties, state agencies, school districts, and risk pools. Issuing bodies are mixed and geographically dispersed: Orange County Transportation Authority (California) has solicited ridership program consulting with demand forecasting and survey analysis components; Cooperative Insurance Services (Oregon) sought enterprise risk capital modeling across property, liability, and benefits programs; Okaloosa County (Florida) requested arbitrage compliance modeling for tax-exempt bond portfolios; Fairfax County (Virginia) engaged procurement disparity analysis; and the Washington State Department of Revenue contracted unclaimed property auditing firms to conduct multistate compliance audits and financial record analysis. The City of Phoenix (Arizona) established a qualified vendor list for water demand forecasting and resource planning, and Texas's Office of the Governor twice procured statewide cost allocation plan services involving complex federal cost analysis and indirect rate calculation. Work scopes involve extracting insight from financial records, survey data, market information, and operational metrics to support strategic or compliance decisions.

Activity appears concentrated in the West and mid-Atlantic regions, with recent solicitations issued by California (Orange County), Arizona (Phoenix), Oregon (Cooperative Insurance Services), Washington State, Florida (Okaloosa County), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority's ridership program RFP (posted July 1, 2026, due July 1, 2026) sought employer transportation surveys, Average Vehicle Ridership calculation, and strategic rideshare analysis under a $380,000 two-year contract funded by Federal Transit Administration and local measure funds. Cooperative Insurance Services' enterprise risk modeling RFP (posted June 15, 2026, due July 13, 2026) required identification and quantification of financial risks, construction of capital target models, and sensitivity analysis across property, liability, and workers' compensation portfolios, with finalist interviews scheduled for July 27-31 and anticipated award August 21, 2026. The Washington State Department of Revenue's unclaimed property auditing RFP (posted April 16, 2026, due June 5-15, 2026) covered five jurisdictions and compensated contractors at ten percent of unclaimed property value actually delivered, with a three-year term cap of $2 million. The City of Phoenix water resources RFQ (posted April 14, 2026, due March 20, 2026) prequalified consultants for five-year task-order-based work in water demand forecasting, infrastructure planning, and resource analysis. Opportunities under this code span multiple procurement mechanisms—RFPs, RFQs, and ITQs—and reflect demand from mid-sized and large public entities managing complex datasets and regulatory compliance.
