UNSPSC 83101901: Energy conservation programs

UNSPSC 83101901 Energy conservation programs is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of energy performance contracting, energy auditing, measurement and verification, and strategic energy management services delivered across institutional and municipal portfolios. State and local governments soliciting under this code are engaging Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) to conduct investment-grade audits, design and install efficiency improvements, provide performance guarantees and measurement protocols, and manage multi-year energy savings contracts. Issuing bodies include state energy departments, county governments, municipal utilities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The Oregon Department of Energy, state and county governments across Georgia and Mississippi, school districts in Florida and Missouri, and municipal utilities in California and New Jersey all posted opportunities in the recent window, reflecting activity across state energy offices, local government operations, education, and water/utility management.

Recent opportunities cluster around three service categories: prequalification vehicles for ESCO and energy analyst lists (Oregon Department of Energy RFQ #26-189 for three-year ESCO agreements, due November 3, 2026; Oregon RFQ 26-099 SEED for prequalified energy analysts, due July 23, 2026); county and municipal guaranteed energy savings performance contracts with investment-grade audits and performance measurement (Hancock County School District two-year energy services contract, due October 12, 2026; Greene County Board of Supervisors ESCO services RFQ, due September 3, 2026; Charlton County and Terrell County Georgia RFQs for guaranteed energy savings performance contracts, both due in June 2026); and specialized energy consulting for strategic planning, commercial buildings compliance support, and utility-scale renewable feasibility (City of Austin energy management services RFP with performance-based compensation targeting large institutional portfolios, due October 15, 2026; Washington Department of Commerce Tier 2 compliance coaching and resource fairs for Clean Buildings Performance Standard, due November 2, 2026; Eastern Municipal Water District utility-scale energy generation study, due June 26, 2026). Activity spans Oregon, Washington, California, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, New Jersey, Maine, and Michigan, with the largest recent concentration in Georgia county governments and Oregon state energy contracting. Most opportunities carry response dates between May and November 2026, with several prequalification agreements establishing multi-year vendor lists supporting future direct engagements by state and local agencies.
