UNSPSC 93101607: Statesmen services

UNSPSC 93101607 Statesmen services is a Commodity code that covers legislative advocacy, lobbying, and governmental affairs consulting services. State and local governments procure under this code to secure representation before state legislatures, Congress, federal agencies, and state executive branches on matters ranging from securing appropriations and influencing legislation to monitoring regulatory developments and maintaining constituent relationships with elected officials and agency staff. The work spans full-service lobbying, grant identification and acquisition, legislative monitoring, policy analysis, and stakeholder advocacy across diverse jurisdictional priorities—transportation funding, water infrastructure, economic development, housing, public safety, utilities, and special initiatives.

The code sees activity across cities, counties, transit authorities, and state agencies. Recent solicitations show repeat activity from municipalities including Charlotte, Waco, Gallup, and Garden City seeking state and federal representation; the Orange County Transportation Authority and Harris County Housing and Community Development soliciting transportation and transit-focused advocacy; and multiple Georgia jurisdictions (Cobb County, City of Garden City) procuring state legislative consulting. The code also captures broader governmental advisory work—ethics commission development (Los Angeles County), strategic planning (Orange County Transportation Authority, Los Angeles County), and state economic development consulting (Washington State Department of Commerce)—reflecting how state and local bodies use advocates and advisors to navigate complex regulatory and funding landscapes. Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, California, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in New Mexico, Washington, and other states. Representative solicitations include the City of Gallup's federal lobbying RFP (due August 6, 2026, seeking five-year federal advocacy experience and monthly retainer-plus-expense pricing for Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project and infrastructure advocacy); the Orange County Transportation Authority's state legislative advocacy RFP (due July 22, 2026, with $456,000 commitment over two years for Sacramento representation and monthly reporting); the City of Charlotte's concurrent state and federal lobbying solicitations (due July 31, 2026, covering a broad portfolio of City and transit-authority priorities); and the Washington State Department of Commerce's district energy committee facilitation RFP (due August 6, 2026, $630,500 maximum, nonprofit-eligible only, for barrier analysis and decarbonization prioritization). The code shows strong recent velocity with multiple July and August 2026 deadlines across diverse geographies and customer types.
