UNSPSC 93121604: International economic cooperation services

UNSPSC 93121604 International economic cooperation services (Commodity) encompasses political advocacy, legislative representation, and strategic advisory work that state and local governments procure to advance their interests before state legislatures, Congress, federal agencies, and state regulatory bodies. Recent state and local solicitations show governments buying state lobbyist services, federal lobbying representation, legislative monitoring and bill tracking, grant identification and appropriations assistance, and strategic governmental affairs consulting to secure funding and influence policy outcomes affecting municipal and county operations.

The issuing bodies are primarily municipalities and counties—the City of Rio Rancho, City of Gallup, City of Charlotte, City of Waco, Orange County Transportation Authority, Escambia County, Cobb County, and smaller Georgia cities including Garden City and the City of Apopka—along with one transit authority (Great Lakes Water Authority in Michigan) and one state agency (Washington State Department of Commerce). Cities and counties appear to be repeat buyers under this code, typically engaging separate firms for state-level and federal-level advocacy. Recent opportunities span New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, California, Michigan, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Gallup's federal lobbying RFP (due August 6, 2026) requiring five years of federal appropriations experience and focused on the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project, utility infrastructure, and disaster resiliency with a one-year term and up to three renewal options; the Orange County Transportation Authority's state legislative advocacy RFP (due July 22, 2026) structured as firm fixed-price with $456,000 funding for the initial two-year term and $456,000 for each optional renewal period through December 31, 2032; and the City of Waco's state lobbying solicitation (due June 23, 2026) emphasizing established relationships with Texas State Legislature members and state agency officials. All recent opportunities require registered lobbyist status where applicable, professional liability and general liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence), demonstrated prior success securing appropriations or advancing legislative priorities for similarly situated clients, and monthly or activity-based reporting to elected officials and management.
