UNSPSC 93151510: Administrative fees or tax collection services

UNSPSC 93151510 Administrative fees or tax collection services is a Commodity code capturing the real work that state and local governments buy under this category: debt collection, toll recovery, tax lien sales, EMS billing, utility collections, and related administrative fee services. The solicitations show a mixed issuing-body landscape spanning cities (Bridgeport, New Haven, Palm Bay, Kingman, North Las Vegas, Warner Robins, Midland, Atlanta), counties (Orange County, Collier County, Oconee County, Barnwell County, Harris County, San Mateo County, Bibb County, Salt Lake County), a state department (Washington Department of Revenue, Illinois Department of Revenue), and public universities and health systems (Texas Tech, UT Health San Antonio, University of Texas at Austin, Austin Community College, Broward County). The most active buyers are Florida counties (Orange, Collier, Broward) and Texas jurisdictions (Harris County Toll Road Authority, City of Midland, UT Health San Antonio), which issue RFPs and ITBs repeatedly for collection services tied to specific revenue streams—fire rescue transport fees, utility arrears, delinquent tax liens, and toll violations.

The geographic footprint spans Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, South Carolina, and California, with the heaviest recent activity in Florida and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut seeking bids on delinquent municipal tax liens (TCB004277, IFB due July 29, 2026, covering 463 properties worth $1.36 million); Orange County, Florida requesting collection agency services for fire rescue (Y261020, RFP due August 4, 2026, contingency-based percentage fees); Harris County Toll Road Authority procuring delinquent toll account recovery services (RFP 260048, due March 16, 2026, with minimum five-year experience requirement and $5 million annual recovery threshold); Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center seeking medical collections services (739SL3808100, RFP due July 20, 2026, with contingency fees on three categories and $14.3 million in secondary placements anticipated); and the Washington State Department of Revenue issuing a statewide RFP for unclaimed property auditing, collection, and delivery across five counties (RFP202601, due June 15, 2026, 10% recovery-based fee structure). Pricing is predominantly contingency-based—percentage of collections, flat fees per action (collection letter, hearing setup, lawsuit filing), or lump sums per delivered property—with performance bonds, insurance, data security, and compliance with Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and state debt collection statutes standard across all recent procurements.
