UNSPSC 95121913: University

A school providing 4 year post secondary degrees

UNSPSC 95121913 Commodity code—University—names the buying activity for higher education and university construction, renovation, and capital project delivery. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily university systems and boards of regents procuring preconstruction and construction services, often through construction-manager-at-risk and design-build delivery models. Recent opportunities show a mix of building system replacements (HVAC, roofing, plumbing), structural rehabilitation to meet seismic and energy standards, facility expansions and renovations, and specialized laboratory and athletic facilities. Issuing bodies include university system offices (Texas A&M University System, University of Texas System, University of Texas at El Paso), individual university institutions (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, Georgia Institute of Technology, Columbus State University, Tarleton State University, San Jacinto College, Houston City College), and state higher-education coordinating bodies (Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia). Procurement approaches span both qualification-based RFQs for CMAR and design-build engagements and sealed competitive bids for specialized trades.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional opportunities in Florida and select other states. Representative solicitations include the Texas A&M University System's RFP for Reynolds Medical Sciences Building Level 2 HVAC Upgrade in College Station (proposals due August 6, 2026, Planning Amount $12.7 million); the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's RFQ for the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech in Atlanta (qualifications due August 5, 2026, estimated construction cost $163.7 million); Tarleton State University's CMAR RFP for a new 113,500-square-foot Agricultural Sciences Building in Stephenville, Texas (proposals due July 23, 2026, planning amount $100 million); and Houston City College's IFB for roof replacement and lightning protection at the JB Whitley Building (bids due June 17, 2026, engineer's estimate $3 million). Construction timelines typically span 12 to 30 months, with guaranteed maximum price structures and cost-plus-fee models common for CMAR selections. Prevailing wage, E-Verify, and bonding requirements are standard; several Texas procurements reference VetHUB subcontracting plans and PCEF (Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund) workforce equity targets where applicable.
