UNSPSC 84111603: Internal audits

UNSPSC 84111603 Internal audits is a Commodity code covering independent and internal auditing services that state and local governments procure to evaluate financial controls, compliance, and operational effectiveness across diverse agency functions. State and local buyers under this code range from state auditor offices and specialized agencies to county and municipal governments, school districts, transit authorities, and public authorities managing large asset portfolios or complex federal programs.

Issuers posting under this code include state departments (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Illinois Department of Human Services, Colorado Department of Education, Washington State Department of Corrections), counties (Harris County Texas, Burnet County Texas, Beaufort County South Carolina, Effingham County Georgia, Cobb County Georgia), cities (Atlanta, Fort Worth, McKinney, Gulfport, Hampton, Savannah), regional authorities and cooperatives (Lane Council of Governments Oregon, Workforce Solutions North Texas, Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area), and specialized public entities (Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company, Texas Education Agency / Teachers Retirement System, Orange County Transportation Authority California, City Colleges of Chicago). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas agencies appear frequently across multiple recent solicitations. Recent opportunities span a wide scope: the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is seeking internal audit services with a response deadline of August 12, 2026 under RFQ 458-E260682; Lane Council of Governments is procuring annual financial statement audits due July 22, 2026 under RFP FY27-004; and the Illinois Department of Human Services is requesting professional accounting and auditing services supporting executive inspector general investigations with a July 28, 2026 deadline under IFB 27444DHSCONTOB53178. The code also captures specialized audit engagements including construction audits, claims audits for pension plans, sales tax recovery audits, PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) compliance audits, defined-contribution plan audits, and cybersecurity evaluation audits.

Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Washington State show recent activity as well. Most recent solicitations with hard deadlines cluster between late June and early August 2026, with response windows typically spanning 3–6 weeks from posting.

Professional liability insurance minimums typically range from $1 million to $5 million per occurrence depending on engagement scope and client complexity.
