UNSPSC 93142001: Urban development planning services

UNSPSC 93142001 Urban development planning services, a Commodity code, encompasses master planning, feasibility analysis, strategic planning, and economic development studies that state and local governments commission to guide growth, revitalization, and land-use policy. Recent opportunities show cities, counties, and regional agencies procuring comprehensive development frameworks: the City of Ocala has posted seven separate ITNs for mixed-use and affordable housing development on city-owned parcels in the West Ocala Community Redevelopment Area, ranging from small infill sites (under one acre) to larger catalytic properties; the Utilities Commission in New Smyrna Beach solicited RFP 1526 for planning and entitlement services on a 600-acre Western Utility Complex with separately awardable components for public and private parcels; DeKalb County issued a study to update the Candler Road/Flat Shoals Parkway Livable Centers Initiative Master Plan; and San Mateo County is developing its first Economic Development Strategic Plan. Issuing bodies span municipalities (New Smyrna Beach, Ocala, New Haven, South Salt Lake, Scottsdale, Bridgeport, Santa Cruz), counties (Collier, DeKalb, San Mateo, Sarasota, Sacramento, Wicomico, Hillsborough), regional councils (H-GAC, WestCOG), transit authorities, and special-purpose districts (Bend Urban Renewal Agency). Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Ocala, New Smyrna Beach, Collier County, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Bridgeport), Georgia (DeKalb, Statesboro), California (San Mateo, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Alameda), and scattered activity across Connecticut, Utah, New Mexico, Maryland, Oregon, and South Carolina.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Ocala's ITN GRM/260682 for development of affordable housing at NW 7th Avenue Subdivision Section 1 (three single-family detached homes, proposals due August 26, 2026); the City of New Haven's RFQ 2027RFP393 seeking a consultant team to reform the Zoning Ordinance aligned with Vision 2034 (proposals due October 13, 2026); Collier County's ITN 26-8679 for development or disposition of the Port of the Islands property with two tracks for affordable housing or outright purchase (proposals due October 14, 2026); the City of South Salt Lake's RFP PN202617 for a Downtown Circulation and Transportation Master Plan (proposals due July 11, 2026 at $150,000 budget); Sacramento County's RFP 2026GEN0073 for an Investment and Revitalization Strategy for fifteen commercial corridors (proposals due September 4, 2026); and the City of Moab's RFQ 2606 for a Downtown Master Plan consolidating existing studies into a comprehensive plan (proposals due July 28, 2026 at $50,000 fixed price). Work is solicited as RFP, RFQ, and ITN vehicles, with response dates clustering in the late summer and fall of 2026; qualifications-based selection (RFQ) is common for planning studies, while Invitations to Negotiate dominate real-property development opportunities. Development-stage procurements often require 5–10 years of relevant experience, completion of three or more comparable projects, demonstrated financial capacity, and compliance with affordable-housing affordability periods (typically 20–40 years for rental and sale units) and local hiring or set-aside programs where applicable.
