UNSPSC 93151607: Government auditing services

UNSPSC 93151607 Government auditing services is a Commodity-tier code covering financial statement audits, compliance reviews, special-purpose audits, and related assurance work that state and local governments procure to meet statutory and federal grant requirements. Recent opportunities show state and local bodies—counties, cities, special districts, state agencies, universities, transit authorities, and nonprofits receiving public funds—soliciting comprehensive audit services spanning general-purpose financial statements, single audits under Uniform Guidance, internal controls assessments, payroll and IT reviews, and program-specific examinations. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the breadth of the public sector: county auditor offices (Beaufort County, South Carolina; Effingham County, Georgia; Harris County, Texas), state agencies (Texas Education Agency, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission), municipal utilities and special districts (Sarasota Bay Estuary Program in Florida, Orange County Transportation Authority in California), and higher-education institutions (Texas Tech University System, City Colleges of Chicago). State departments of administration, education, and human services appear repeatedly in the recent pipeline, suggesting ongoing cycle-driven procurement in those sectors.

The geographic spread is wide and multi-regional, with heavy recent activity in Texas (Harris County, Burnet County, McKinney, Fort Worth, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Education Agency, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Teacher Retirement System), California (Orange County Transportation Authority on sales tax recovery and accessibility assessments), Florida (Sarasota Bay Estuary Program, Gainesville Regional Utilities), the Carolinas (Beaufort County South Carolina, Effingham County Georgia), and the Pacific Northwest (Lane Council of Governments in Oregon, Columbia Gorge Education Service District in Oregon, Washington State Department of Corrections). Representative recent solicitations include the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program's RFP for external auditing services for fiscal years 2026–2028 with responses due August 6, 2026, covering financial statement audits compliant with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and federal Uniform Guidance; Lane Council of Governments' RFP FY27-004 for three-year financial statement audit services due July 22, 2026, with mandatory Oregon CPA licensure and five years of governmental audit experience required; the Texas Education Agency's RFQ for Teachers Retirement System claims audit services spanning three years with potential two-year renewals, due July 17, 2026; the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission's RFQ for internal audit services with mandatory HUB subcontracting, due August 12, 2026; and Harris County's RFSQ for external audit services for fiscal years 2026–2030 covering combined financial statements, federal single audits, and compliance examinations, with proposals due June 22, 2026. Evaluation criteria across the sample emphasize firm experience and qualifications (40–60 percent weight), personnel credentials and prior performance (25–45 percent), technical approach and methodology (15–30 percent), and pricing (15–35 percent), with many procurements requiring CPA licensure, peer review credentials, professional liability insurance of $1 million to $5 million, and compliance with federal audit standards.
