UNSPSC 93151517: License or registration fee

Fee paid to register and license property, usually a vehicle

UNSPSC 93151517 License or registration fee is a Commodity code covering the operational and administrative fees associated with licensing, registration, and permitting activities that state and local agencies charge to individuals and businesses. State and local governments purchase these services through competitive solicitations for the administration of motor vehicle licensing, driver licensing, registration renewal systems, training program registrations, and related permitting functions. The work spans both the direct operation of license offices—where contractors manage customer-facing transactions, collect fees, and process titles and registrations—and the provision of technology systems, payment processing platforms, and ancillary services like security validation stickers that support fee collection and licensing administration. Issuing bodies include state departments of revenue, motor vehicles, insurance, and corrections; state governors' offices; and specialized state administrative agencies. Missouri's Department of Revenue appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple license office operation solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, and Rhode Island. The Missouri Department of Revenue solicited operation of license offices in Warsaw (RFP due October 27, 2026) and Princeton (due July 9, 2026), under five-year Blanket Purchase Agreements with contractor-borne facility and staffing costs and compensation limited to state-defined processing and permit fees. The Texas Department of Insurance issued IFBs for online event registration systems with annual licensing and support (due September 11 and August 13, 2026), requiring PCI-compliant payment processing and integration with the Texas Comptroller's accounting system. The Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology solicited quotes for virtual management training delivery with fees tied to implementation and hourly service rates (due July 23, 2026). The Rhode Island Department of Corrections requested quotations for thermal security validation stickers and registration cards (due June 24, 2026) with a 15% Minority Business Enterprise participation requirement. The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles posted an RFI for registration renewal payment plan providers (due June 15, 2026), seeking underwriting and API integration capabilities to support Assembly Bill 296's installment payment mandate—a planning-stage informational solicitation that will inform subsequent procurement.
