UNSPSC 71161309: Temporary accommodation support service

Temporary accommodation support means short-term, temporary or transient accommodation such as a hotel, motel, bed and breakfast or boarding house. Also provides an intensive support service to households placed or facilitated into any form of Temporary Accommodation or Private Rented accommodation and is delivered to support those clients to enable them to sustain their accommodation.

UNSPSC 71161309 Temporary accommodation support service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure trained personnel for event staffing, security operations, guest services, facility management, and specialized support roles at public venues, civic facilities, and community programs. The code spans a mix of operational contexts—convention centers, hospitals, shelters, youth facilities, and municipal departments—where governments augment staff capacity for time-limited or variable-demand activities. Recent solicitations show issuers ranging from county convention authorities and city agencies to health systems, housing departments, and workforce development programs, reflecting the breadth of jurisdictions using contracted temporary personnel to fill discrete service gaps without expanding permanent payroll. Volusia County's October 2026 RFP for Ocean Center Event Staffing and Security Services (response due December 9, 2026) exemplifies the core use case: the County seeks trained personnel for ticket-taking, ushering, entry security checkpoint operations, magnetometer screening, crowd management, and incident response across 52 annual events, with contract awards structured as initial three-year terms plus two optional one-year renewals and annual price redetermination tied to wage and material cost indices. The contract requires comprehensive insurance (workers' compensation, general liability, professional liability, and umbrella coverage with $1 million limits per occurrence) and E-Verify compliance. Payment terms allow 45 business days for invoice settlement.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Volusia County), California (Santa Monica, San Mateo), Colorado (State Patrol wellness coaching), Georgia (Griffin-Spalding County school district), and Washington (Boulder County housing, state commerce initiatives), with the highest recent density in the Mountain West and coastal states. The City of Santa Monica's October 2026 solicitation 473 for 24x7 Service Desk support (response due October 26, 2026) represents a distinct category within the code: staffing of professional-level technical support operations, requiring ITIL alignment, ServiceNow expertise, CLETS certifications, and 99.5 percent uptime SLAs for 2,000-plus client environments processing 500 monthly incidents. The City's Living Wage Ordinance mandates $25.00 per hour minimum for eligible employees. Colorado State Patrol's October 2026 RFP for Wellness and Stress Injury Prevention Services (proposals due October 7, 2026) further illustrates the code's scope: deployment of biometric coaching and peer support staffing for up to 60 law enforcement personnel through June 2027, with pricing structured per cohort. Set-asides and local preferences appear selectively—Washington's Youth Lead Project (November 9, 2026 deadline) and victim advocacy services solicitation (August 25, 2026 deadline) each reserve federal VOCA or HUD YHDP funding and prioritize geographic equity and lived-experience hiring. Activity is active and consistent across issuing-body types and geographies, with response windows typically 30–60 days and contract terms ranging from one year to five years.
