UNSPSC 80111612: Temporary drivers

UNSPSC 80111612 Temporary drivers is a Commodity code that names personnel who fill temporary driving roles, yet state and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying much broader temporary staffing services across administrative, clerical, technical, professional, and specialized labor categories—from substitute teachers and medical directors to janitorial workers, event staff, and grounds maintenance personnel. The code's scope as applied in recent state and local procurements spans on-demand workforce augmentation to fill skill gaps, cover absences, and manage seasonal or project-based staffing surges. Issuing bodies include state departments (Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Nevada), counties (Collier, Orange, Ventura, Harris, Cuyahoga, Hillsborough), cities (Tucson, San Antonio, Phoenix, Tampa, Temple, Milpitas, Atlanta, Richardson), school districts (Hillsborough, Ocean Springs, City Colleges of Chicago), special-purpose districts (Inland Empire Health Plan, Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland, Integral Care in Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Axia Cooperative, Texas SMART BUY, VetHUB). Repeat buyers include Colorado SPCO, the City of Tucson (which has issued multiple RFPs under different code references), Texas state agencies, and Hillsborough County Public Schools.

Geographic concentration is heavy in the South and Southwest—Texas leads with multiple active solicitations from state agencies, school districts, and municipalities; Colorado, Florida, and Arizona show consistent activity; and cooperative purchasing vehicles serve nationwide participation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFQ for housing-based supportive services staffing (RFQu RFQU260341, due August 7, 2026), establishing a five-year qualified vendor list; Texas Tech University's RFP for maintenance and repair staff augmentation across 19 trade categories (RFP 2026-1191, due July 31, 2026) executed through VetHUB; the State of Colorado's RFP for statewide temporary staffing (RFP-SPCO-26-BS01, due May 7, 2026) seeking administrative, accounting, facilities, and correctional officer personnel across five geographic regions with historical usage near 429,000 hours annually; and the Teacher Retirement System of Texas's RFQ for temporary staffing (RFQ for Temporary Staffing Services, effective January 1, 2027) spanning multiple divisions on an indefinite-quantity basis. Pricing structures typically use markup percentages applied to base hourly rates or fully burdened bill rates; insurance requirements consistently include workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), and automobile liability. Background checks, drug screening, E-Verify compliance, and rapid deployment capability (often 24 to 48 hours) are standard mandatory qualifications. Activity remains robust and steady across jurisdictions, with procurement cycles favoring established vendor lists, cooperative frameworks, and multi-year initial terms with annual renewal options.
