UNSPSC 93121704: Secretariat services

UNSPSC 93121704 Secretariat services is a Commodity-tier code covering administrative and clerical support work that state and local governments procure to assist with records management, data entry, office coordination, and specialized administrative tasks—though recent opportunities tagged under this code show a dramatic mismatch between the nominal scope and actual purchasing activity.

The recent opportunities reveal little work aligned with traditional secretariat or administrative support services. Instead, the code carries tags for consultant-led strategic planning, grant management, program optimization, legislative advocacy, financial auditing, climate action planning, code revision, operational assessments, and governance framework development. These represent professional advisory and consulting services spanning multiple departments and issuing bodies—cities (Holly Hill, Phoenix, Wheat Ridge, Richardson, Ocala, Wichita, Urbana, Douglasville, Detroit, Gallup, Temple, Cooper City, St. Cloud, Casselberry, Augusta, Fayetteville), counties (Whitfield, Seminole, Orange, Pinellas, Bernalillo, San Mateo, Boulder, Kissimmee, Louisville), state agencies (Georgia DOT, Washington Commerce, California, Illinois, Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Washington Blueberry Commission, WSAC), special districts (West Basin Water, OCTA, Alameda County Water, Kissimmee Utility Authority, New Smyrna Beach Utilities), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, SunTran), colleges (Rockland Community College), and other entities (Atlanta BeltLine, Los Angeles Superior Court, Boulder County Financial Management). No single issuing body appears twice, and geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan, New Mexico, and beyond. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Finance Department's October 2026 RFQ for management consulting services on an as-needed basis (sealed offers due November 6, 2026) covering change management and organizational studies; Whitfield County Board of Commissioners' sealed-proposal RFQ for a Job Classification and Pay Study (due November 20, 2026); Georgia DOT's Public Notice of Advertisement for Program Management Services supporting transportation programs (SOQs due December 16, 2026); and Washington State Department of Commerce's RFQ for up to three Capital Readiness Advisors supporting capital project capacity grantees (due November 16, 2026, with contract capped at $25,000 per advisor). The code shows no relevant recent activity—state and local governments are not purchasing secretariat or administrative support services under this Commodity code; rather, opportunities posted under it span consulting, program management, strategic planning, and professional advisory work across dozens of jurisdictions and service lines.
