UNSPSC 93151503: Privatization programs

UNSPSC 93151503 Privatization programs (Commodity) comprises contracting-out and outsourcing of public operations and administrative functions, and recent state and local solicitations show activity spanning IT service delivery, correctional facility operations, grant administration, and specialized service provision. The issuing-body mix reflects a cross-section of state agencies, counties, and municipalities: the Texas Education Agency and Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominate the recent sample, but Florida Department of Corrections, Kenosha County (Wisconsin), Galveston County (Texas), the County of San Mateo (California), and the City of Fort Worth also appear. The scope of work is diverse—solicitations range from facility operations (a 1,948-bed correctional facility with a $51.6 million annual cost and mandated seven-percent cost-savings requirement) to specialized support services (dementia care, supervised visitation, youth competency programming, grant administration) to back-office IT functions (52 managed-services IT staff across enterprise service desks and deskside support). Texas leads in recent posting volume, with simultaneous open procurements for audio-visual services, IT service desk staffing, open education resources development, and enrollment broker operations; activity also appears in Florida, California, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Oregon.

Representative recent opportunities span October and June 2026 postings: the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-27-001 for audio-visual services supporting hybrid Council meetings (Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities) with an October 21, 2026 RFP deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFO HHS0017021 for Service Desk and Deskside Support Services (52 managed-services positions, 36-month term with optional extensions, responses due November 3, 2026); the Florida Department of Corrections' ITN FDC-27-023 for South Bay Correctional Facility operation and management (1,948 beds, $51.6 million annual spend, ITN due December 1, 2026, seven-percent cost-reduction mandate); and Kenosha County's RFP 202602 for Dementia and Caregiver Support Services (1.0 FTE DCS and 1.0 FTE Caregiver Support Coordinator, proposals due June 30, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in California and Wisconsin; no set-asides are uniform across all codes, though most recent opportunities require HUB (service-disabled veteran-owned), small business, or local-business subcontracting plans. Contract terms typically span three to five years with renewal options contingent on performance and appropriation.
