UNSPSC 80111502: Compensation or benefits planning

UNSPSC 80111502 Compensation or benefits planning (Commodity) encompasses benefits administration, third-party administration of workers' compensation and leave management, actuarial valuation, benefits consulting, and related HR services that state and local governments buy to design, manage, and administer employee benefit programs and compensation structures. Recent solicitations show state and local entities purchasing workers' compensation TPA services, leave management SaaS platforms, actuarial consulting for OPEB liabilities, benefits brokerage and consulting services, flexible spending account administration, and comprehensive HR and compensation planning support. Issuing bodies span municipal human resources departments, county executive offices, school districts, regional commissions, and state pension systems. Salt Lake City is procuring workers' compensation TPA services through an RFI (SLCI27041) posted October 13, 2026, with responses due November 9, 2026; Orange County, California is seeking actuarial consulting for retiree medical plan valuations through an RFP (0173142902CA) posted October 7, 2026, with proposals due October 23, 2026, and a 5 percent cost preference for Orange County Local Small Business certified vendors and 8 percent for DVBE-certified vendors; Aspen Peaks School District (Utah) is requesting statements of qualifications for insurance brokerage and benefits consulting services through an RFSQ (APSD10152026) posted September 25, 2026, with responses due October 15, 2026; and the City of Yuma is soliciting proposals for a third-party workers' compensation administrator through an RFP (RFP27117THIRDPARTYADMINISTRATORFORWORKERSCOMPENSATION) posted September 16, 2026, with proposals due October 6, 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in California (Orange County actuarial and benefits contracts), Utah (Salt Lake City, Aspen Peaks School District), Arizona (Yuma), Florida (Suwannee County group medical benefits, Green Cove Springs HR services, Seminole County EMS Medical Director), Michigan (Detroit absence leave management and FSA administration), Georgia (Atlanta Regional Commission benefits consulting, Butts County compensation study), Texas (Teacher Retirement System compensation study, Dallas and San Antonio reentry services RFIs), Connecticut (New Haven fire and police promotional exams), and Washington State (energy resilience outreach). The code also captures a limited subset of miscellaneous HR and compensation-related professional services—such as fire service promotional examination development and youth program coordination—that state and local procurement offices have tagged to this code but do not strictly align with benefits administration. The recent opportunities signal active demand for integrated leave management platforms with real-time payroll integration, third-party workers' compensation administration for mid-size municipalities, public-sector actuarial and benefits consulting with specific public-agency OPEB experience requirements, and comprehensive HR consulting and compensation analysis for local government modernization and compliance.
