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 covering human resources consulting work that state and local governments use to design job classifications, conduct compensation analysis, develop and validate promotional examination processes, and deliver specialized training programs. Recent solicitations show this code spans a much broader scope than job description writing alone—state and local buyers are using it to procure examination design for police and fire promotional ranks, compensation and staffing studies, safety training instruction, emergency medical services medical director oversight, employee benefits consulting and third-party administration, leave management systems implementation, and learning management system deployment. The mix of issuing bodies includes city human resources departments, county governments, special districts, fire departments, police departments, emergency services agencies, and educational institutions, with repeat activity from Detroit, New Haven, and smaller cities like Pasadena, Wichita, and Savannah.

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Midwest, with the strongest activity in California (Pasadena), Connecticut (New Haven), Florida (Seminole County, Green Cove Springs), Georgia (Butts County, Savannah), Michigan (Detroit), and Texas (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Teacher Retirement System, Texas State Technical College). The City of New Haven issued back-to-back RFPs in August and September 2026 for fire and police promotional examination design and administration (2027RFP394 and 2027RFPCNH382, due October 6 and August 25 respectively), Butts County, Georgia solicited proposals for comprehensive wage and hour classification, compensation, and staffing analysis (RFP PE77035NONST2027000000046, due August 17, 2026), the City of Green Cove Springs, Florida sought comprehensive human resources management services (Solicitation 202606, due September 10, 2026), and the City of Detroit issued multiple solicitations for leave management systems, flexible spending account administration, and employee background verification services through mid-2026. These opportunities range from fixed-fee professional services (examination design, compensation studies) to subscription-based SaaS implementations (leave management, learning management systems) with contract terms typically spanning three to five years and optional renewal periods. Set-asides and local-vendor preferences appear sporadically—New Haven applies local preference worth up to five evaluation points, Detroit offers Equalization Credits of up to ten points for qualifying local businesses, and Washington State's energy resilience outreach procurement encourages diverse business participation with goals for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and small business participation.
