UNSPSC 80111603: Temporary production staffing needs

UNSPSC 80111603 Temporary production staffing needs is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of on-demand temporary labor across administrative, clerical, technical, skilled trades, and specialized service roles — not production-specific despite the code name. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state agencies, county governments, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The work ranges from brief event-staffing assignments to sustained multi-year staffing vehicles serving multiple departments. Texas dominates recent activity, with the Texas Department of Agriculture (pesticide disposal event staffing), Texas Tech University (maintenance and repair staff augmentation), the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (indefinite-quantity staffing), and multiple Texas cities actively procuring. Florida, Colorado, Arizona, California, and Georgia also show significant recent volume. Cooperative purchasing vehicles—NASPO ValuePoint, Texas SMART BUY, Axia Cooperative—feature prominently, creating statewide and multi-state access to pre-vetted staffing vendors without individual competitive solicitations.

Recent representative opportunities reflect the breadth of demand. The Texas Department of Agriculture issued an RFP due August 17, 2026 (solicitation 5510000952) for pesticide disposal event staffing, with pricing structured as all-inclusive per-pound rates plus itemized costs for site setup, technicians, and equipment; the contract requires NIST cybersecurity standards and mandatory VetHUB recruitment transparency. Texas Tech University's RFP 2026-1191 (due July 31, 2026) sought maintenance and repair staff augmentation across nineteen trade categories—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, masonry—with mandatory 24/7 emergency contact, staff replacement within eight hours, and compliance with OSHA and university safety standards. The City of Phoenix's RFQ 260341 (due August 7, 2026) for housing services including property management and supportive services for homeless populations required five years' experience and included a DBE-Neutral small business participation plan. The State of Colorado's RFP-SPCO-26-BS01 (due May 7, 2026) seeks temporary staffing across administrative, trades, and security roles statewide, with pricing weighted at 35 of 400 evaluation points and a historical annual volume of approximately 429,000 hours. Most recent solicitations require comprehensive insurance (typically $1 million general liability and workers' compensation), E-Verify employment verification compliance, background checks and drug screening, and submission of hourly rates, markup percentages, or per-person pricing. Contract terms cluster around one to five years with renewal options, and payment structures vary from Net 30 to Net 45. Evaluation criteria commonly weight experience and qualifications (20–35 percent), price or cost reasonableness (25–35 percent), and service delivery approach (20–40 percent).
