Temporary Staffing Services Vendor Pool

The North Dakota Temporary Staffing Services Vendor Pool (Contract #482) is a comprehensive multi-award vehicle designed to provide state agencies, institutions, boards, commissions, and other state entities with flexible temporary staffing solutions across five primary service categories: Administrative Support, Commercial/Industrial Workers, Healthcare Staffing Services, Information Technology Professional Services, and Professional Services. The contract establishes a structured procurement process that allows participating entities to request temporary staffing through either direct assignment for projects under $250,000 or competitive bidding for projects at or above $250,000, with vendors evaluated based on solution approach, staff qualifications, and cost.

The contract features eleven awarded vendors, including ATA Services Inc, Comtech Global Inc, 22nd Century Technologies Inc, Elite Personnel Inc, Maxim Healthcare Staffing Services, and Rose International Inc, with an initial performance period from May 26, 2023, to February 1, 2026. The vehicle covers the entire state of North Dakota and operates as a cooperative purchasing agreement, offering administrative service fees ranging from 9% to 60% depending on the service category. While the contract does not mandate usage, it provides a flexible mechanism for state entities to procure temporary staffing services through a pre-approved vendor pool, with individual work orders structured as hourly rate or fixed-bid arrangements and a 45-day payment timeline.
