UNSPSC 84111500: Accounting services

UNSPSC 84111500 Accounting services is a Class code encompassing a broad range of financial and accounting support that state and local governments procure to manage internal operations, meet regulatory compliance obligations, and support specialized programs. Recent state and local opportunities show demand for traditional financial audits across multiple fund types, forensic and investigative audits, specialized accounting services for public housing and healthcare entities, billing system administration, revenue cycle management, cost allocation studies, and technical accounting conversion work. The work spans municipalities, counties, state agencies, public universities and their direct support organizations, school districts, housing authorities, and transit authorities, with no single issuing body dominating the code; counties and cities post frequently, but the activity is geographically and organizationally distributed. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP for Medicare DDE access services (due October 7, 2026), University of Central Florida's ITN for audit and tax services covering eight Direct Support Organizations with budgets ranging from $4 million to $53 million (proposals due November 6, 2026), the Florida Department of Management Services' statewide term contract RFP for five auditing and related services categories with historical annual spend around $7 million (proposals due December 1, 2026), and the Oregon Health Authority's NCQA-certified HEDIS measurement vendor procurement (proposals due November 6, 2026).

Geographic activity centers on Florida, California, Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and New England jurisdictions, with periodic opportunities across the Midwest and Mountain West. The code sees steady procurement velocity across the fall 2026 window, with response dates clustering between mid-September and early December. Evaluation weighting typically emphasizes relevant experience with similar government entities (30–35 percent), technical approach and methodology (20–30 percent), team qualifications (15–25 percent), and cost (10–30 percent); many solicitations apply local vendor preferences or set-asides for small business, disadvantaged business, veteran-owned, or disabled veteran enterprises. Insurance requirements are standard across engagements, commonly including professional liability ($1–2 million), general liability ($1 million), and workers' compensation. Contract terms run one to five years with renewal options, and pricing is frequently fixed-fee, hourly rate, or hybrid structures. This code remains active and competitive for firms with governmental accounting experience, AICPA licensure or certification, and demonstrated track records in regulated sectors such as public finance, higher education, healthcare, and housing.
