UNSPSC 80111615: Temporary machinist personnel

UNSPSC 80111615 Temporary machinist personnel, a Commodity code, describes staffing and labor management services that state and local governments procure when temporary skilled trades workers—including machinists, welders, electricians, and related technical roles—are needed to augment permanent workforces or address surge demand. Recent solicitations show that the code's scope extends well beyond machinist specialists to encompass broad temporary staffing across maintenance, repair, skilled trades, administrative, and event-support classifications. State and local issuing bodies span city and county governments, school districts, workforce development boards, and specialized authorities; the mix reflects distributed procurement by operational need rather than concentration among a small set of buyers. Cities of St. Petersburg, Alexandria, and Dallas; Broward County and Denton County; school districts in Richardson, Collin County, and Hillsborough County; and state agencies in Texas, Florida, Colorado, Mississippi, and Oregon have posted recent opportunities. Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest, with scattered statewide and multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Robert Half cooperative contracts through Oregon and other states) supporting agencies across multiple regions.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's breadth. The City of St. Petersburg issued RFP 26281 for temporary staffing across 25 position categories—labor, clerical, maintenance, skilled trades, security, and event support—with proposals due October 29, 2026 and incumbent Personnel Solutions Plus LLC holding current rates ranging from $19.32 to $99.52 per hour.
