UNSPSC 81141603: Transport finance or economics

UNSPSC 81141603 Transport finance or economics, a Commodity code, describes planning, modeling, and finance support services that state and local governments procure to assess transportation systems, demand patterns, infrastructure investment priorities, and operational performance. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span regional transportation planning and model development, demand management software platforms, public works operational assessments, and emergency fleet parts inventory management—a mix reflecting the breadth of analytical and logistical services states and localities commission to support mobility infrastructure and service delivery. The issuing bodies are regional councils, municipalities, state departments of transportation, and state health agencies; within this sample, the Wasatch Front Regional Council and Mountainland Association of Governments appear as a joint buyer establishing a standing consultant pool, while Park City Municipal Corporation and the City of Columbus each pursued single procurements for specialized transport-related services.

Geographic activity concentrates in Utah, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas based on recent postings. The Wasatch Front Regional Council is soliciting statements of qualification for a planning and model development consultant pool serving 2026–2028, with SOQs due November 19, 2026, under a Qualifications-Based Selection process covering nine planning categories and two model-development categories (UNSPSC 81141603 aligns most closely with the Travel Demand Model work). Park City Municipal Corporation issued an RFP for Transportation Demand Management software supporting its Ride On program, due August 8, 2026, with an annual budget of $20,000 and a two-year initial term plus three optional one-year extensions.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of DSHS issued an Invitation for Bids for warehouse storage, tracking, and deployment services for durable medical equipment in the Austin area, due April 29, 2026, with an initial term through August 31, 2027, and up to four renewal options, based on historical spend of $772,820 and requiring fixed pricing on a per-square-foot annual storage rate and per-hour labor basis.
