UNSPSC 80111611: Temporary warehouse staff

UNSPSC 80111611 Temporary warehouse staff is a Commodity code that classifies temporary staffing services state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis to fill short-term labor gaps across multiple job categories and operational contexts. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, school districts, workforce development boards, and state agencies sourcing temporary personnel for grounds maintenance, food service, event support, disaster recovery, facility operations, child nutrition programs, and administrative roles. The issuing bodies span the full spectrum of state and local government: city procurement offices (St. Petersburg, Alexandria, Dallas, Phoenix), county systems (Broward, Denton, Boulder, Polk, Richardson), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Barrow County, San Antonio ISD, City Colleges of Chicago), state departments (Texas, Mississippi, Oregon, Colorado, Florida), workforce development boards (Greater Louisville), and specialized authorities (Florida Department of Commerce, Texas Tech University, Teacher Retirement System of Texas). Pricing and delivery models vary widely—some solicitations use hourly rates with markup percentages, others fixed per-assignment or per-stop fees, and a few use cooperative purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint or Texas SMART BUY to pre-negotiate staffing rates across multiple agencies. Insurance and compliance requirements are consistent: commercial general liability typically $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation at statutory limits, background checks, E-Verify, and in many cases drug screening and security clearances.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Colorado, Georgia, and the District of Columbia, with secondary activity across Mississippi, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, Oregon, and other states. Representative solicitations include St. Petersburg's RFP 26281 for temporary staffing across 25 position categories (labor, clerical, maintenance, skilled trades, security) due October 29, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 24127-RFP-DST seeking speech-language pathologists and assistants for 100+ vacancies due March 23, 2026; Boulder County Sheriff's Office's RFP for 24/7 EMT staffing at the county jail due October 26, 2026; Orlando Utilities Commission's RFP 25-PR-8968 for management services for temporary staffing with a web-based portal and vendor management scope due April 13, 2026; and Richardson Independent School District's RFP for temporary child nutrition personnel due September 22, 2026 with historical spend of $200,000–$450,000 annually. Cooperative purchasing notices from Oregon (Robert Half through HGAC and TS06-25) and NASPO ValuePoint (solicitation 60-00000-26-00092 for multiple states) signal continued consolidation of staffing procurement through pre-negotiated master agreements. Activity remains steady through late summer and early fall 2026, with response deadlines clustering in late August through October.
