UNSPSC 80111610: Temporary information technology networking specialists

UNSPSC 80111610 Temporary information technology networking specialists (Commodity) encompasses recruitment, vetting, and on-demand deployment of IT personnel for network operations, system support, and infrastructure maintenance roles—though recent state and local solicitations under this code show almost no activity aligned with its nominal scope. Of the twenty-six state and local opportunities posted between June and October 2026 and tagged to this code, only two are genuinely IT-focused (Orange County's Digital Development Services RFP and Colorado's Substance Use Disorder assessment and clinical treatment services RFP); the remainder cover general temporary staffing, kitchen workers, events coordination, emergency medical services, park irrigation, social media management, dispatch, and other unrelated services. The code appears to suffer from systematic mistagging in state and local procurement systems, making it difficult to isolate genuine IT networking specialist procurement activity.

Issuing bodies under this code span state agencies (Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Florida), counties (Hillsborough, Prince George's, Broward, Denton, Boulder, Collin, Orange), cities (St. Petersburg, Alexandria, Dallas, Phoenix, DeBary), school districts (Polk County, Richardson ISD, Barrow County, City Colleges of Chicago), workforce development boards, universities, and special authorities. No repeat buyer pattern emerges around actual IT networking specialist procurement. Recent opportunities predominantly target general-purpose temporary staffing, with representative examples including St. Petersburg's RFQ for 25-category temporary staffing (due October 29, 2026), Denton County's multi-category temporary and payroll services RFP (due October 22, 2026), and the State of Mississippi's IFB for temporary staffing (due November 10, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Colorado, and Georgia, with scattered postings in Illinois, Oregon, Maryland, and other states. Because the code's recent opportunities are dominated by general labor, clerical, grounds, food service, and clinical staffing rather than IT networking roles, business development professionals should treat this code as currently misaligned with actual IT specialist procurement; pursuing opportunities will require filtering for the rare solicitations that genuinely require network administration or infrastructure support, or advocating for corrected UNSPSC coding with issuing procurement offices.
