UNSPSC 80111612: Temporary drivers

UNSPSC 80111612 Temporary drivers is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure temporary staffing services across multiple employment classifications and operational contexts. The recent solicitations tagged under this code, however, show substantial scope drift: while the code nominally describes drivers, the actual purchases span everything from emergency medical technicians and mental health clinicians to speech-language pathologists, kitchen workers, substitute teachers, event stagehands, and grounds maintenance personnel. A handful of opportunities do solicit driver-specific roles—Cal OES seeks Class A and Class B licensed drivers for vehicle transportation (IFB A261017447), the City of St. Petersburg requests truck drivers among 25 temporary position categories (RFP26281), and the School Board of Polk County awarded armored car transportation services (ITB 001-MJ-0727)—but the bulk of recent postings use this code for general temporary employment services, suggesting inconsistent tagging across procurement offices or a code that has become a catch-all for staffing augmentation across skill levels and professions.

Recent activity clusters in three geographic zones: Florida (City of DeBary, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Polk County School Board, Broward County, Orlando Utilities Commission, and Florida Department of Commerce statewide), Texas (City of St. Petersburg, State of Texas, Richardson ISD, Texas Tech, Collin County Community College, University System of Georgia event staffing, Texas Department of Transportation), and Colorado (Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Colorado Department of Corrections). Beyond these concentrations, opportunities span Maryland (Prince George's County), Kentucky (Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board), Mississippi (state departments), Oregon (cooperative agreements), Illinois (state procurement via Chief Procurement Office), District of Columbia, Georgia, and California. City governments and county departments drive most of the activity, alongside state workforce agencies, school districts, and special districts. Representative recent solicitations include the City of St. Petersburg's RFP 26281 (Temporary Staffing, October 29, 2026, 25 position categories across labor, clerical, maintenance, skilled trades, and security with incumbent Personnel Solutions Plus LLC), the Colorado Department of Corrections' RFP 2026-273 (Substance Use Disorder clinicians and assessors, September 7, 2026, billed at fixed hourly rates), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 24127 (speech-language pathologists and assistants, March 23, 2026, approximately 100 SLP vacancies). Most opportunities are RFPs or RFQs with 30- to 60-day response windows; a few are cooperative purchasing vehicles (Oregon's Robert Half arrangement via HGAC and NASPO ValuePoint) that bypass individual competitive solicitations. No set-aside concentration appears consistent, though Florida and Texas opportunities frequently invoke E-Verify, background checks, and state-specific compliance certifications. The code shows active, fragmented procurement across multiple states and issuing bodies, but tag accuracy is questionable given the wide range of occupations actually being filled.
