UNSPSC 84120000: Banking and investment

UNSPSC 84120000 Banking and investment is a Family code that encompasses depository and treasury management services, merchant processing and payment systems, investment advisory and management services, and municipal financing and underwriting support that state and local governments actively procure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special-purpose districts sourcing primary and secondary banking services including account management, ACH and wire processing, positive pay, remote deposit capture, lockbox operations, and commercial card programs; investment advisory services for employee retirement plans and OPEB trusts; merchant credit card and point-of-sale processing; and specialized services such as commercial paper liquidity facilities, bond underwriting pool participation, and unclaimed property auditing. Cities, counties, school districts, and transit authorities issue RFPs, RFQs, and RFAs regularly to establish banking relationships and investment management contracts typically structured as multi-year agreements with options to renew.

The code sees concentrated recent activity across Texas (City of Balch Springs, City of Heath, City of Pflugerville, City of Waxahachie, City of Midland, City of Liberty Hill, City of Southlake, City of Kingman Arizona, and Cobb County School District Georgia), Florida (City of Sarasota, City of St. Petersburg, Broward County, Superior Court of Los Angeles, City of Cooper City), and broader jurisdictions including Illinois (Department of Employment Security), Missouri (Department of Transportation), Washington State (Department of Revenue), Utah (Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, State of Utah), and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Effingham County School District, Cobb County).
