UNSPSC 93121702: Security council services

UNSPSC 93121702 Security council services (Commodity) encompasses lobbying, legislative advocacy, and governmental affairs consulting that state and local governments procure to represent their interests before state legislatures, Congress, federal agencies, and administrative bodies. The code captures the full scope of professional advocacy services—from state-level legislative lobbying and federal appropriations pursuit to general government relations strategy, stakeholder engagement facilitation, and policy advisory work.

State and local governments issuing under this code span cities (Rio Rancho, Gallup, Charlotte, Waco, Garden City), counties (Escambia, Cobb, DeKalb, Bartow, Ventura, San Mateo), regional authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Great Lakes Water Authority), and special-purpose districts. Cities and counties dominate the recent activity, with repeat issuers including Charlotte and Waco (both seeking state and federal lobbying pairs), the Orange County Transportation Authority (issuing multiple state legislative advocacy and grant-development solicitations), and several Georgia municipalities (Gallup, Garden City, Cobb County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Gallup's RFP 2026202701 for federal lobbying services (due August 6, 2026, IFB notice type), requiring five years' federal lobbying experience, assigned registered lobbyists, and comprehensive annual advocacy strategy development with monthly reporting; the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP 250342 for state legislative advocacy and consulting services (due July 22, 2026), structured as firm fixed-price with monthly retainer rates covering a two-year initial term plus two optional two-year renewals at $456,000 per term, with mandatory California Secretary of State registration as a lobbyist and Sacramento office presence; and the City of Charlotte's dual solicitations (due July 31, 2026) for separate state and federal lobbying services covering aviation, economic development, transportation, and housing priorities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (Gallup, Waco, multiple Houston-area entities), California (Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Mateo County), Florida (Escambia, Pinellas), Georgia (multiple cities and counties), and North Carolina (Charlotte), with secondary activity across Washington, Illinois, and other states.
