UNSPSC 80111600: Temporary personnel services

UNSPSC 80111600 Temporary personnel services is a Class code that encompasses recruitment, screening, placement, payroll administration, and employer-of-record functions for on-call, short-term, and long-term temporary workforce assignments across state and local government operations. State and local buyers solicit under this code to address staffing gaps, fulfill surge demand, support disaster recovery and emergency response, cover specialized short-term needs (substitute teaching, nursing, behavioral health), and meet compliance requirements for mandated services such as speech-language pathology under IDEA. Recent solicitations name administrative staff, clerical workers, skilled trades, IT and professional roles, healthcare personnel (EMTs, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists), food service workers, dispatchers, and event labor, with vendors typically serving as employer of record and managing tax withholding, workers' compensation, background screening, and credentialing.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Florida Department of Commerce, Florida Department of Transportation, Colorado Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Agriculture, District of Columbia), county governments (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Montgomery County Maryland, Orange County California, Broward County Florida), cities (St. Petersburg, Alexandria, Dallas, Phoenix), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Richardson ISD, San Antonio ISD, City Colleges of Chicago, Barrow County Schools), and specialized authorities (Boulder County Sheriff, Kentucky workforce boards, Santa Clara County). School districts and state workforce development agencies represent repeat buyers under the code.
