UNSPSC 84101705: Repossession services

UNSPSC 84101705 Repossession services is a Commodity code covering end-to-end claims recovery, subrogation, debt collection, and revenue cycle services that state and local governments procure to recover costs from third parties for unpaid debts, delinquent accounts, and uncollected charges. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers pursuing this work across multiple customer segments—utility and permit-fee collections from cities, EMS transport and fire services revenue recovery from county and municipal fire rescue departments, delinquent tax lien sales and municipal court fines collection, and accounts receivable services for universities and special districts. Work is structured predominantly on contingency or percentage-of-recovery pricing models, with vendors absorbing operational costs and receiving compensation only on amounts actually collected; a smaller set of opportunities use fixed monthly fees or per-account placement charges. Issuing bodies span cities (Fort Worth, Atlanta, Palm Bay, Kingman, New Haven, Bridgeport, Midland), counties (Orange County, Escambia County, Oconee County, Monroe County, Barnwell County, DeKalb County School District), state agencies (Washington Department of Enterprise Services, Illinois Department of Revenue), regional utilities (City of Santa Fe), universities (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center), and special-purpose districts (North Las Vegas Utility Department).

Geographic activity is distributed across multiple states with concentrations in Florida (Orange County, Escambia County, Palm Bay, Monroe County, Bridgeport), Texas (Fort Worth, Midland, Texas Tech), Georgia (Atlanta, Warner Robins, Oconee County), Washington State, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Fort Worth's RFP for large vehicle subrogation and claims recovery with a 30% small business participation goal and a 40–60% net recovery target, due October 29, 2026; the Washington Department of Enterprise Services' competitive solicitation 11425 for debt collection across General Collections, Educational Collections, and Court-Ordered Collections categories, with bids due October 20, 2026 and up to two Main Awards and two Reserved Awards per category; the City of Palm Bay's re-bid RFP for citywide debt collection covering utility and permit-fee accounts, due October 6, 2026, with approximately 700 accounts anticipated annually; and the City of Atlanta's multi-step competitive sealed bid for EMS revenue billing services under the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, with prequalification and IFB phases announced in April 2026. Illinois Department of Revenue exercised final renewal options in June 2026 with five incumbent collection agencies (AllianceOne, Harris and Harris Ltd., Transworld Systems Inc., Harvard Collection Services, and Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson), extending contracts through June 30, 2028 and signaling stable demand for established vendors in that market.
