UNSPSC 93161605: Sales tax

UNSPSC 93161605 Sales tax is a Commodity code that in current state and local practice captures tax administration software, systems integration services, and related infrastructure supporting revenue collection and compliance operations. Recent solicitations show state revenue departments purchasing integrated tax platforms, high-volume document and remittance processing systems, tax data warehouses, web portals for taxpayer filing, analytics and business intelligence tools, and FedRAMP-compliant hosting and support services. The Rhode Island Department of Revenue's July 2026 RFI exemplifies the scope: the Division sought vendor information on consolidated tax administration systems, MeF filing solutions, data warehouse capabilities, and cloud hosting integrated into Azure FedRAMP environments, with current infrastructure spanning Government Premier, Fairfax Quick Modules, Tyler Technologies banking systems, Knime analytics, and Microsoft Power BI reporting. State revenue and taxation departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

The recent activity is concentrated in the Northeast. The Rhode Island Department of Revenue's RFI 27006865, posted July 29, 2026 with a vendor Q&A period through August 21, 2026 and responses due September 11, 2026, represents the most substantive recent opportunity; responses were solicited through the Ocean State Procures portal in a structured format covering technology offerings, prior state work, case studies addressing personal and corporate income, implementation approaches, cybersecurity architecture, and system integration details, with no cost proposals required and selected vendors invited to interviews at vendor expense. A second opportunity in the dataset—an April 2026 Georgia technical college purchase of an AKTAgo liquid chromatography system—appears unrelated to sales tax administration and likely represents a coding mismatch in the source system rather than a representative use of this Commodity code.
