UNSPSC 64131606: Labor hour contract

A type of contract is a variation of the time and materials contract, differing only in that materials are not supplied by the contractor.

UNSPSC 64131606 Labor hour contract (Commodity) covers time-and-materials professional services that state and local governments procure on an hourly or blended-rate basis for specialized work spanning legal counsel, program management, executive recruitment, legislative advocacy, and technical support. Recent solicitations show governments using this code to engage law firms for labor and employment counsel, to contract housing rehabilitation program managers, to procure behavioral health database administration, and to source executive search consultants and legislative lobbyists — typically through RFP or documented quote vehicles that allow flexible hour-based or task-based compensation without requiring fixed project scopes upfront. The issuing bodies span county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida), state agencies (Colorado Department of Human Services, Maryland Environmental Service, Oregon Department of Transportation), and municipalities (City of Torrington, Connecticut; City of Garden City, Georgia; City of College Park, Georgia), with no standout repeat buyer visible across the recent sample but consistent use across housing, behavioral health, transportation, and municipal governance functions.

Geographic activity centers on Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent opportunity postings. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's RFP2600332 for Program Year 2026 Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation program management (RFP, response due August 5, 2026) with an estimated $7.5 million budget seeking qualified entities to manage single-family disaster and non-disaster rehabilitation projects; the City of Torrington's RFP #LCS-011-060526 for labor counsel services (RFP, response due June 5, 2026) requesting blended hourly rates for attorneys and paralegals to support collective bargaining and employment law work across six municipal bargaining units; and the City of Garden City's PE66061NONST2026000000074 solicitation for legislative lobbyist services (RFP, response due July 2, 2026) to represent the city before the Georgia General Assembly on an annual retainer or flat-fee basis. The code shows active procurement across multiple service lines where hourly or time-based pricing structures align with variable scope, part-time engagement, or ongoing advisory work that does not warrant fixed-price project contracts.
