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 is a Commodity code that describes time-and-materials or labor-only engagements where state and local governments contract for skilled or professional services billed by the hour. In practice, recent state and local solicitations under this code span housing development management, professional legal counsel, legislative advocacy, and specialized testing administration. Issuing bodies are mixed and include county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Maryland Environmental Service), cities (Garden City, Georgia; Torrington, Connecticut), and state transportation departments (Oregon Department of Transportation). County housing authorities are the most active repeat buyers, pursuing multiple concurrent labor-hour contracts for affordable housing rehabilitation, disaster recovery, owner-occupied housing programs, and cold-weather shelter management. Service categories range from general labor provision at solid-waste facilities to executive-level professional services such as labor law counsel and legislative lobbying, indicating that the code accommodates both hourly labor and professional time billing across very different skill and seniority levels.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Florida (particularly Hillsborough County) showing the highest volume of solicitations as of mid-2026. The most representative current opportunities include Hillsborough County's RFQ2600418 for Cold Weather Shelter Partnerships (due October 9, 2026, $250,000 total project estimate), RFP2600372 for Community Development Block Grant multi-family acquisition rehabilitation (due October 2, 2026, $3.8 million), and RFP2600365 for CDBG-DR small multifamily rehabilitation addressing hurricane recovery (due September 25, 2026, $10 million). The Oregon Department of Transportation posted RFP S7300000013526 for CDL Third Party Skills Testers (due August 4, 2026), with no direct compensation but authority to collect fees from applicants. The City of Garden City, Georgia solicited legislative lobbyist services (PE66047NONST2026000000007, due July 2, 2026), and the City of Torrington, Connecticut requested labor counsel services (LCS011060526, due June 5, 2026). These procurements demonstrate wide variation in scope and dollar value, from specialized professional services to operational labor provision, all structured as hour-based or project-based labor contracts.
