UNSPSC 95121900: Educational and research buildings and structures

Buildings or structures used for educational or research services

UNSPSC 95121900 Educational and research buildings and structures, a Class code, covers construction and renovation of school facilities, higher-education buildings, and related educational infrastructure. State and local governments procure new construction, major renovations, system replacements (HVAC, roofing, electrical, plumbing), structural rehabilitation, envelope upgrades, and complete building hardening under this code. Recent activity spans construction-manager-at-risk (CMAR) contracts, design-build services, general contracting for new buildings and additions, and integrated preconstruction and construction delivery across multiple facility types.

The issuing-body mix is dominated by school districts and university systems, with activity also from county boards of education, municipal departments, and higher-education institutions. School districts are the most active category—Cobb County Schools, Chatham County Schools, Clayton County Schools, and Parkrose School District have all posted opportunities in the recent window—alongside state university systems (Texas A&M University System, University of Texas System, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf of university boards of regents) and county governments (Collier County, Orange County, Seminole County). Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, Oregon, Michigan, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing IFB 26-8672 for the Collier Senior Center Expansion Project (a $5.6 million new construction and hardening effort with bids due August 31, 2026); Parkrose School District requesting CMAR proposals for Prescott Elementary School's seismic and energy upgrades under PCEF funding (due August 12, 2026); the State of Texas issuing RFP 735-2026-4427 for a joint-operating-committee minor construction services master agreement for state facilities and participating subdivisions (due July 31, 2026); Texas A&M University System Office of Facilities Planning & Construction soliciting CMAR services for the Reynolds Medical Sciences Building HVAC Upgrade in College Station (due August 6, 2026); and the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission requesting qualifications for the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech, a $163.7 million new-construction project (due August 5, 2026). Evaluation commonly emphasizes qualifications and team experience, past-performance references, cost control and value engineering, and bonding and insurance capacity; many procurements require prevailing wage compliance and incorporate federal funding streams (CDBG-MIT, PCEF, Davis-Bacon) that add compliance complexity.
