UNSPSC 64131605: Time and materials contract

A type of contract used for acquiring supplies or services on the basis of direct labor hours at specified fixed hourly rates that include wages, overhead, general and administrative expenses, and profit; and actual cost for materials.

UNSPSC 64131605 Time and materials contract is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of professional services, staffing, and project delivery acquired on a time-and-materials basis rather than fixed-price or lump-sum arrangements. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a narrower slice of actual activity: affordable housing development and rehabilitation services, cold weather emergency shelter operations, and legislative advocacy. The code's nominal scope is broad, but the state and local market under it right now centers on community development and social services delivered by nonprofits, for-profit contractors, and specialized service providers working under flexible cost-reimbursement arrangements where hourly rates, per-unit stipends, or per-activation fees apply rather than fixed project prices.

Issuing bodies are concentrated in a small set of repeat buyers. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida dominates the recent activity, posting five opportunities between July and September 2026 totaling approximately $27.3 million across affordable housing acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, owner-occupied rehabilitation, and cold weather shelter operations. The Oregon Department of Transportation posted one RFP for CDL third-party testing contractors (August 4, 2026 due), and the City of Garden City, Georgia posted one for legislative lobbying services (July 2, 2026 due). Geographic concentration is heavily weighted to Florida, with secondary activity in Oregon and Georgia. The representative opportunities show Hillsborough County RFP2600418 (Cold Weather Shelter Partnerships, $250,000 budget, October 9, 2026 due) requiring 501(c)(3) and faith-based organizations to operate congregate shelters or motel-voucher programs on per-activation or per-room-night fees; Hillsborough County RFP2600365 (CDBG-DR small multifamily rehabilitation, $10 million budget, September 25, 2026 due with three proposals received) for hurricane recovery housing; and Hillsborough County RFP2600332 (owner-occupied rehabilitation, $7.5 million budget, August 5, 2026 due) for single-family disaster and code-violation repairs. Time-and-materials pricing structures appear in stipend-per-activation and per-unit-reimbursement models rather than traditional T&M hourly billing, suggesting the code may be misapplied or used as a catch-all for flexible-payment community development contracts.
