The contract encompasses temporary personnel services across multiple functional categories, including temporary drafting services, manual labor, information technology software developers, and human resources services.

The scope of services reflects a broad-based temporary staffing arrangement under UNSPSC classifications 80101605, 80111600, 80111608, 80111613, and 80111620, corresponding to NIGP Code 96269 (Personnel Services, Temporary).
