UNSPSC 84111503: Tax accounting service

Service that provides the activities inherent in tax accounting

UNSPSC 84111503 Tax accounting service (Commodity) spans state and local procurement for independent financial audits, comprehensive audit and compliance services, and specialized accounting support across county governments, cities, and state agencies. State and local buyers procure this code to address mandatory annual financial reporting, federal Single Audit compliance, internal controls assessment, forensic accounting, and specialized tax or revenue-related review work—not routine tax preparation for individuals or businesses. The code sees sustained activity from county auditor-correlated RFPs (multistate county governments soliciting three- to five-year audit contracts), specialized-service requests (forensic audits, revenue compliance reviews, cost allocation plan development), and state-level procurements (statewide audit pools, workforce-board monitoring services, and HUB-subcontracting-requirement engagements).

Issuing bodies include county governments (Beaufort County South Carolina, Ada County Idaho, Galveston County Texas, McDonough Georgia, Okaloosa County Florida), state departments (Texas Comptroller, Texas HHSC, Washington Department of Revenue, Illinois Housing Development Authority), cities (Atlanta, Detroit, Palm Bay), and specialized public entities (UT Health San Antonio, George Mason University, Santa Clara Valley Healthcare). Repeat buyers soliciting audit services include Texas agencies and Texas counties—the state's purchasing volume and federal-grant density drive frequent solicitations. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas (Houston-area transit authorities, state purchasing, workforce boards, health authorities) and Florida (county audits, municipal revenue services), with secondary activity in California, Georgia, and the broader Southeast. Representative opportunities include Galveston County's RFQ (due Aug 6, 2026) for independent audits of fiscal year 2025 under OMB Circular A-133 and Single Audit Act standards; the Texas Comptroller's RFP (posted Jun 30, 2026, due Jul 13, 2026) for Education Savings Account Program auditing with a 1.5% VetHUB participation goal on $824.5 million in awards; Ada County Idaho's RFP 26042 (due May 21, 2026) for ACFR audits requiring 40% of billable hours on-site in Boise; Beaufort County South Carolina's RFP 050726 (due May 7, 2026) for five-year audit engagements including single audits and specialized procedures; and the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice (due May 27, 2026) for EMS revenue billing and cycle-management services scoped to claims processing, collections, and analytics. A subset of recent activity targets niche services: Washington DOR solicited unclaimed-property auditing firms (due Jun 5 and Jun 15, 2026) to conduct general-ledger and securities audits; Texas HHSC posted RFQ HHS0016852 (due Jun 3, 2026) for MCO audit services covering 20-22 managed-care organizations annually; and the City of Detroit sought Section 108 loan underwriters (due Mar 5, 2026) using CDBG funding to evaluate loan applications for income-producing properties. Arbitrage rebate and investment compliance services also appear regularly (Okaloosa County RFP, Collier County RFP 268666, both April 2026). Several opportunities require HUB or minority-business subcontracting plans as mandatory conditions for responsiveness, and audit budgets typically range from $400,000 to $22.5 million over initial terms, with pricing structured as fixed fees, hourly rates, or percentage-of-collections arrangements depending on service type.
