UNSPSC 83101904: Energy Utilities

Energy Utilities means energy/power including electricity, natural gas, fuel, oil and any other energy source used to carry out the Project Scope or otherwise consumed by the System, including renewable and alternative sources of energy.

UNSPSC 83101904 Energy Utilities is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of energy consulting, auditing, management, and performance contracting services. State and local governments solicited under this code are predominantly purchasing energy performance contracts, energy audits and analysis, strategic energy management, utility rate optimization, commissioning services, and related technical assistance—with a significant volume of guaranteed energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) where energy services companies design, install, and finance conservation measures across public facilities. The issuing bodies are diverse: state energy and commerce departments, county boards of supervisors, city governments, school districts, special authorities (such as convention centers and water districts), and municipal utilities. State departments of energy in Oregon and Washington appear repeatedly as prequalification administrators, whereas county governments in Georgia and Mississippi have recently solicited ESCO qualifications for facility-wide energy performance contracts. School districts including Salt Lake City, Manatee County, and Hancock County are actively procuring energy consulting and equipment.

Recent opportunities span multiple regions with concentrations in the Pacific Northwest, Southeast, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Energy posted RFQ #26-189 (due November 3, 2026) establishing a three-year ESCO prequalification vehicle requiring five-year registration with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and demonstrated M&V experience; Hancock County School District in Mississippi is soliciting energy service providers (due October 12, 2026) for a two-year energy services contract with financing and performance guarantees. The Washington Department of Commerce issued an RFP for Tier 2 Compliance Assistance Project (due November 2, 2026, $600,000 not-to-exceed) focusing on Clean Buildings Performance Standard compliance coaching and outreach in rural Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties. The City of Austin solicited Strategic Energy Management Services (RFP 1100 DCM3050, due October 15, 2026) with a maximum annual value of $250,000 and performance-based bonus potential, targeting large institutional and commercial property portfolios. The State of Maine Department of Energy Resources opened the Affordable and Clean Energy for Rural Enterprises program (due November 3, 2026) distributing approximately $950,000 across technical assistance and implementation tracks. Additional activity includes the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities administration and management of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program (Bid #26DPP01204, extended to October 7, 2026) and the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs award to Tetra Tech Inc. for Installation Energy and Water Plan services ($579,986 across three years plus renewal options).
