UNSPSC 80111604: Temporary technician staffing needs

UNSPSC 80111604 Temporary technician staffing needs, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of temporary technical and specialized personnel across state and local government operations—including engineers, technicians, dispatchers, clinical and medical staff, skilled trades workers, and event support personnel deployed on short-term or as-needed bases. State and local buyers use this code to fill critical staffing gaps, address hiring delays, support specialized projects, and manage surges in operational demand without committing to permanent headcount. The mix of issuing bodies reflects broad demand: state transportation and correctional agencies (California Department of Transportation, Colorado Department of Corrections, Florida Department of Transportation, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, Texas Department of Transportation), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Richardson Independent School District, Broward County), counties (Boulder County, Denton County, Broward County), cities (Alexandria, Dallas, St. Petersburg, Phoenix), workforce development boards (Greater Louisville, Florida Department of Commerce), and specialized facilities (Orlando Utilities Commission, Elgin Mental Health Center, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center). Recent activity shows Hillsborough County Public Schools and Florida state agencies as repeat buyers of substantial temporary staffing volume, with Hillsborough County seeking approximately 100 speech-language pathologists and 2 assistants and the Florida Department of Commerce procuring statewide disaster-recovery staffing across 21 workforce development boards.

Geographic concentration runs heavy through Florida and California, with secondary activity in Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Oregon, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's scope: Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 24127-RFP-DST (response due March 23, 2026) for speech-language pathologists and assistants on an as-needed basis to meet IDEA mandates, with an estimated annual budget of approximately $11.6 million including up to $3 million in federal IDEA funding. The City of St. Petersburg issued RFP 26281 (response due October 29, 2026) for temporary staffing across 25 position categories spanning labor, clerical, maintenance, skilled trades, security, and event support; the incumbent vendor, Personnel Solutions Plus LLC, holds rates ranging from $19.32 to $99.52 per hour. California Department of Transportation District 7 issued IFB 07A6466 (bids due October 13, 2026) for engineering and maintenance staffing—nine directly employed positions including engineers, stationary engineers, maintenance mechanics, and electricians—to operate the 716,200-square-foot Los Angeles office building 24/7, with a 5 percent small-business preference and 5 percent DVBE incentive applied. The Florida Department of Commerce issued RFP 16689 (proposals due September 3, 2026) for statewide disaster-recovery staffing as employer of record for dislocated workers across all 67 Florida counties, with a 36-month contract term and cost-reimbursement structure. Cooperative purchasing vehicles also active under this code include NASPO ValuePoint's Temporary Employment Services RFP and the State of Oregon's use of Robert Half through HGAC cooperative agreements, expanding procurement options beyond individual agency RFPs.
