UNSPSC 84111502: Financial accounting service

Service that provides the activities inherent in financial accounting

UNSPSC 84111502 Financial accounting service is a Commodity code covering independent financial audits, compliance audits, forensic examinations, accounting services, cost allocation studies, and related financial consulting work that state and local governments procure from certified public accounting firms and financial consultants. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects demand for specialized government accounting expertise—housing authorities and community development entities seek audits of complex federal programs (HUD, LIHTC, Community Development Block Grants); counties and municipalities contract for annual comprehensive financial reports, Single Audits, and internal control assessments; specialized authorities (airports, universities, workforce boards, transit agencies) procure statutory audits and compliance reviews; and operating departments request targeted services such as depreciation studies, cost allocation analyses, arbitrage calculations, and forensic examinations. Counties, cities, school districts, housing authorities, and specialized public agencies (water utilities, airport authorities, health agencies, workforce boards) regularly issue RFPs and RFQs under this code. Recent active buyers include Seminole County (disaster recovery accounting), University of Central Florida Direct Support Organizations (multi-DSO audits), Boulder County (comprehensive county audits), Kissimmee Utility Authority (depreciation study), Clayton County Georgia (county audits), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (federal compliance assessments).

Recent opportunities span geographic centers including Florida (Seminole County, Orange County, City of Atlanta, Okaloosa County), Colorado (Boulder County), Georgia (Clayton County, City of McDonough, DeKalb County), Texas (Metrocare Services, HHSC, Texas Facilities Commission, San Antonio ISD), California (California School Finance Authority, City of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania), and other states. Seminole County's RFP60460523LAS seeks disaster recovery accounting consultants for FEMA reimbursement support with hourly rates for multiple specialist roles and a three-year contract term; University of Central Florida's ITN17184 is procuring audit services for eight Direct Support Organizations across a five-year period (2028–2033) covering financial audits, tax returns, NCAA procedures, and 5500 reports, with proposals due November 6, 2026. Boulder County's RFP30426 requests comprehensive county audits including Single Audits, ACFR review, and PERA Census Audits for fiscal years 2027–2031 with historical fees ranging $84,420–$136,142 annually, and the Florida Department of Financial Services' RFP17093 (response deadline October 19, 2026) seeks market conduct examiners for a multi-state insurance examination requiring CIE or AIE certification. Activity remains steady across the fourth quarter of 2026, with multiple solicitations in final Q&A or proposal phases and focus on technical qualifications, relevant government experience, and firm capacity to meet demanding reporting timelines and compliance frameworks.
