UNSPSC 93111507: Opposition movements

UNSPSC 93111507 Opposition movements is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of legislative advocacy, lobbying, and related government relations consulting services. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, transit authorities, and state agencies engaging lobbyists and governmental affairs consultants to represent their interests before state legislatures, Congress, executive agencies, and administrative bodies—work focused on securing funding, influencing legislation, and advancing jurisdiction-specific policy priorities.

State and local governments issuing under this code span cities (Rio Rancho, Gallup, Charlotte, Waco, Garden City, Brownsville, Dallas, Olathe, Apopka), counties (Escambia, Cobb, Bartow, Ventura, DeKalb, San Mateo, Los Angeles), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Great Lakes Water Authority), and specialized districts (Washington State Department of Commerce). Cities appear most frequently. The City of Gallup (RFP 2026202701, due August 6, 2026) seeks federal lobbying services with five-year minimum experience representing municipal interests and proven success securing federal appropriations, targeting Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project and utility infrastructure funding; the selected firm will develop annual federal advocacy strategy, arrange Congressional meetings, identify grants, and submit monthly reports under a one-year contract with three one-year renewal options. The City of Charlotte (RFPs 2692027012 and 2692027013, due July 31, 2026) is simultaneously soliciting state and federal lobbying services for the City and its transit authority, with the federal consultant required to maintain a Washington D.C.-area office. The Orange County Transportation Authority (RFP 250342, due July 22, 2026) offers $456,000 for two years of Sacramento-based state legislative advocacy with two optional two-year renewals at $456,000 each—total contract ceiling $1.368 million if all options exercise—requiring registered California lobbyist status as a hard eligibility gate. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Waco, Brownsville, Charlotte, Houston-area procurement), California (Orange County, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Los Angeles), Georgia (Cobb, Bartow, Garden City, DeKalb, Invest Atlanta), Florida (Gallup serving New Mexico but federal scope), and Washington state (Commerce Department, GLWA in Michigan). Eligible vendors typically demonstrate legislative relationships, prior municipal or county client experience, knowledge of target jurisdictions' legal and budgeting frameworks, and (where applicable) state-specific registration and lobbying credentials.
