UNSPSC 84141501: Farm credit services

UNSPSC 84141501 Farm credit services is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses employee benefits brokerage, consulting, and related professional services—far broader than the nominal code name suggests. State and local governments are actively soliciting for employee benefits brokers and consultants who manage benefit plan renewals, carrier negotiations, compliance coordination, claims analysis, open enrollment support, COBRA and HIPAA administration, and strategic benefits planning for municipal and county workforces. The issuing bodies span county governments, city procurement offices, and independent school districts, with repeat activity from Georgia and Texas jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include White County, Georgia seeking employee benefits broker services under RFQ PE77037NONST2027000000030 with a December 11, 2026 response deadline; Henry County, Georgia requesting Employee Benefit Consulting/Broker Services under RFP #27-01 with an August 11, 2026 due date; and Williamson County, Texas soliciting Benefit Broker Consulting Services under RFP 26RFP50 with a July 9, 2026 deadline. Evaluation commonly emphasizes qualifications and experience (30–35 points), staff capabilities and availability, and technical methodology, with pricing weighted lightly (5 points).

Geographic spread concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Arizona. Beyond benefits brokerage, the code also captures commercial real estate brokerage for municipal property transactions (City of Milton, Florida RFQ 2025.08 for Commercial Real Estate Services; City of Tucson RFP 270145 for Licensed Real Estate Brokers), investment consulting for public employee trust funds (City of Sarasota RFP #26-36HR for OPEB Trust Fund investment services with approximately $60 million in assets), and arbitrage consulting for tax-exempt bond compliance (Okaloosa County, Florida ITQ ITQCOC6026). The code mismatch signals that UNSPSC categorization in state and local systems varies—what is nominally "farm credit services" in this taxonomy actually covers a diverse portfolio of financial, professional, and brokerage advisory services. Respondents commonly must hold state professional licenses, provide Errors and Omissions insurance, and comply with public-sector compliance frameworks including conflict-of-interest certifications and prevailing-wage or living-wage requirements where applicable. No explicit set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences are visible across the recent opportunities, though SBE participation goals appear in Dallas commercial paper liquidity procurement.
