UNSPSC 90152101: Personal assistance services

UNSPSC 90152101 Personal assistance services (Commodity) spans a wide range of professional and technical consulting engagements that state and local governments procure to supplement internal capacity across program administration, infrastructure planning, regulatory compliance, and operational optimization. Recent activity shows state and local buyers soliciting subject-matter expertise for curriculum development, economic development strategy, ERP implementation support, workforce development, energy auditing, planning and entitlement services, and specialized advisory work—far broader than the code's nominal category name suggests. Issuing bodies include state departments (Florida Department of Education, Oregon Health Authority, Georgia Board of Regents, Illinois Department of Commerce), county governments (Seminole, Beaufort, Leon, Orange County, Orange County Transportation Authority), cities (St. Cloud, Phoenix, Kissimmee, Tampa, Plant City, Wichita, New Smyrna Beach, Richardson, Ocala, Detroit, Gallup), school districts (Volusia County, Pinellas County, Manatee County, Pinellas County Schools), transit authorities (OCTA, Illinois Tollway Authority), and special-purpose districts (Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Alameda County Water District, Utilities Commission New Smyrna Beach). Repeat buyers in the recent opportunities block include Orange County Transportation Authority (five separate RFPs for FTA compliance review, sales tax recovery, streetcar safety, grants administration, and energy consulting), the City of St. Cloud (two RFPs for economic development and watershed planning), and various Florida local governments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Valencia College, St. Cloud, Seminole County, New Smyrna Beach, Kissimmee, Orange County, Plant City, Wichita, Volusia County, Pinellas County, Ocala, Manatee County), with significant recent opportunities also in California (Orange County Transportation Authority, City of Richardson consulting for unified development code), Texas (Richardson UDC, City of Gallup lobbying), Oregon (Oregon Health Authority, State of Oregon forestry and transportation planning), Georgia (Kennesaw State University design standards), Illinois (Tollway Authority), Colorado (Boulder County planning), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Valencia College issuing a Quote Request (QR 2026-06) for semiconductor education curriculum subject matter expertise with proposals due August 7, 2025; Orange County Transportation Authority posting RFP 260471 for Federal Transit Administration compliance review and consulting services (29-month term, $245,000 budget, proposals due October 20, 2026); the City of Phoenix issuing RFQ 270477 for management consulting services on an as-needed basis to establish a Qualified Vendors List (five-year term beginning March 1, 2027, proposals due November 6, 2026); the School Board of Volusia County issuing a Notice of Intent to Single Source for IT consulting services supporting Focus ERP implementation (estimated cost $19,999.99 at $50/hour, responses due March 5, 2026); and the Utilities Commission of New Smyrna Beach posting RFP 15-26 for professional services addressing planning, entitlement, and conceptual development of a 600-acre Western Utility Complex with two separately awardable components (proposals due July 16, 2026). The code shows active procurement velocity across multiple tiers of government and a sustained market for specialized consulting talent addressing infrastructure, technology, workforce development, compliance, and strategic planning functions.
