UNSPSC 80111611: Temporary warehouse staff

UNSPSC 80111611 Temporary warehouse staff, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of on-demand labor for warehouse operations, material handling, and general grounds and facility work—but the recent solicitations filed under this code span staffing across administrative, clerical, IT, maintenance, specialized trades, event support, and janitorial roles, indicating significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments and health and human services agencies, counties, cities, school districts, special-purpose districts, and universities; repeat buyers include Texas agencies (Department of Agriculture, Texas Tech University, Teacher Retirement System, Texas State University, City of San Antonio), Colorado State Purchasing & Contracts Office, Orange County Florida, the City of Tucson, and multiple Florida school districts. Recent opportunities span pesticide disposal event staffing (Texas Department of Agriculture, RFP 5510000952, due August 17, 2026), temporary general and heavy labor for asphalt paving support (City of Tampa, ITB 26P00970, due May 21, 2026), temporary staffing across administrative and skilled trades (Texas Tech University, RFP 2026-1191, due July 31, 2026), janitorial staffing augmentation (Inland Empire Health Plan, RFP 2607128, due May 29, 2026), substitute teacher and educator services (Hillsborough County Public Schools, RFP 26058-RFP-DST, due March 23, 2026), and comprehensive temporary employment across multiple job classifications (City of Tucson, RFP 260222, due May 22, 2026).

Activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, California, and Washington. Texas agencies dominate recent solicitations, including state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles (SMART BUY staffing services, NASPO ValuePoint temporary employment, and Axia Cooperative programs serving multiple states), indicating substantial volume channeled through cooperative purchasing platforms rather than individual entity RFPs. Issuing bodies range from municipalities and counties seeking administrative and labor support to school districts and universities requiring specialized staffing including educators, healthcare professionals, and technical personnel. The code shows strong persistent activity, with multiple solicitations posted in April through July 2026, though the scope divergence—warehouse staffing as the code's name versus janitorial, educator, IT, event, and healthcare roles comprising recent opportunities—suggests state and local procurement offices consistently apply this code to general temporary labor across all skill levels and work environments, not warehouse-specific activity alone.
