UNSPSC 93111607: Election analysis services

UNSPSC 93111607 Election analysis services is a Commodity code that encompasses technical testing, compliance evaluation, and advisory services for voting systems and ballot measures, drawn from state and local procurement activity that extends well beyond traditional election data analysis. State and local governments buying under this code include the California Secretary of State testing electronic poll books; Sacramento County evaluating ballot measure strategy and voter impact; and various jurisdictions commissioning advisory and compliance services tied to electoral processes. The scope covers comprehensive functional, security, and usability testing of voting equipment; fiscal and community engagement planning for ballot measures; and regulatory compliance consultation related to tax-exempt bond arbitrage and election system validation. Issuing bodies include state elections offices, county governments, and special-purpose authorities, with recent activity concentrated in California and Florida.

The California Secretary of State posted RFQ #26-005 on August 25, 2026, requesting electronic poll book test support services for Tenex Solutions Precinct Central Touchpad Version 6.1.8, with quotations due September 9, 2026; the two-year contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028, funded through an escrow account, and requires a minimum 3 percent DVBE participation with contractors holding at least three years of election systems testing and source code review experience. Sacramento County posted an RFP on August 18, 2026, for ballot measure planning advisory services supporting potential 2028 revenue ballot measures, with responses due August 6, 2026 and community engagement, voter surveys, and board presentations as core deliverables; proposers must maintain a California office and demonstrate five years of experience with similar county-level engagements. The code shows sparse recent activity overall; several opportunities posted in the block (Dallas dockless mobility compliance, Orange County rideshare consulting, Okaloosa County arbitrage calculations, Fairfax County procurement disparity study) appear to be tagged with this election services code despite having no connection to voting systems or ballot measures, suggesting misclassification in the issuing jurisdictions' tagging practices.
