UNSPSC 80111510: Job description development and writing service

The development and writing of job descriptions

UNSPSC 80111510 Job description development and writing service is a Commodity code encompassing professional consulting services that state and local governments purchase to develop, write, review, and maintain job descriptions, position analyses, and related documentation supporting human resources functions. The recent solicitations show governments buying far broader HR consulting services than the code's narrow title suggests — compensation studies, workforce development consulting, benefits administration, leave management systems, and staffing services dominate the activity. State and local issuers span counties, cities, school districts, and special districts, with no single buyer appearing repeatedly. The work being solicited ranges from single-engagement consulting projects (compensation benchmarking studies, policy review, hearing officer services, job description software evaluation) to multi-year operational service contracts (substitute teacher placement, temporary staffing, EAP administration, benefits brokerage, leave management platforms). Issuing bodies include Seminole County EMS (physician medical director services, RFP due August 5, 2026), Orange County, California (workforce development and business development services, RFP due February 3, 2025), San Mateo County HR (learning management system procurement, RFP due March 3, 2025), the City of Wichita (employee assistance program services, proposals due August 7, 2026), the City of Detroit (absence leave management SaaS, RFP due July 8, 2026), Williamson County, Texas (employee assistance program, proposals due March 3, 2026), and Texas State Technical College (salary benchmarking and total rewards software RFI, responses due April 30, 2026).

Geographic activity spans California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Illinois, and other states with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Recent opportunities cluster heavily around human capital and benefits administration — the City of Detroit's leave management RFP (rebid, due July 8, 2026), Teacher Retirement System of Texas compensation study (due June 3, 2026), the Atlanta Regional Commission benefits consulting and TPA RFP (due June 26, 2026), Williamson County EAP RFP (due March 3, 2026), and substitute teacher services at Hillsborough County Public Schools (due March 23, 2026, with estimated $50 million annual spend). School districts, county HR departments, transit authorities, and county benefits offices emerge as repeat categories. The code shows substantial activity but mixes true job description work with adjacent HR consulting, systems procurement, and operational staffing — suggesting the code captures activity that buyers label as HR consulting or organizational development rather than job description authoring alone. Pursue opportunities tagged to HR policy development, workforce consulting, compensation analysis, and job classification work; watch for shifts toward pure job description writing or AI-assisted description generation as automation tools mature.
