UNSPSC 93161608: Custom tax or duty

A tax or levy made by a government on imported items usually according to a schedule of products and services.

UNSPSC 93161608 Custom tax or duty is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local tax administration systems, including integrated taxation platforms, document and remittance processing infrastructure, tax data warehouses, MeF filing solutions, tax web portals, analytics and business intelligence tools, and hosting and support services. State revenue departments and tax administration divisions are the primary issuing bodies under this code, seeking to upgrade or modernize their tax collection and compliance infrastructure. The scope of work reflects the operational complexity of modern tax administration: the Rhode Island Department of Revenue's recent RFI sought vendors capable of managing high-volume processing, maintaining FedRAMP-compliant hosting, integrating customer relationship management platforms, and delivering cybersecurity and data protection standards aligned with IRS Publication 1075. Vendors responding to opportunities in this code must demonstrate integration capability across multiple legacy and commercial platforms, incident response and disaster recovery procedures, and compliance certification across security, incident response, and system integrity domains.

The Rhode Island Department of Revenue Division of Taxation posted an RFI (27006865) on July 29, 2026, with responses due September 11, 2026, seeking informational responses on tax administration systems and tools for an integrated environment currently built on Government Premier, Fairfax Quick Modules, Tyler Technologies, Knime, Microsoft Power BI, and Microsoft Azure Government Cloud. A secondary opportunity posted by the Technical College System of Georgia on April 23, 2026, requesting a sole-brand AKTAgo Liquid Chromatography System, appears misaligned with the custom tax or duty code taxonomy and does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this Commodity code. Geographic activity centers on Rhode Island and Georgia in the recent record, though state revenue departments nationwide maintain similar tax administration infrastructure and periodically conduct modernization initiatives. The Rhode Island RFI vendor Q&A period closes August 21, 2026, with selected vendors invited to interviews or demonstrations at vendor expense; no cost proposals are required in the response.
