UNSPSC 80111618: Temporary construction services

UNSPSC 80111618 Temporary construction services is a Commodity code that encompasses event staffing, janitorial augmentation, temporary labor for construction and maintenance crews, and specialized temporary personnel placement services as actually procured by state and local government bodies. While the code name references construction, recent state and local solicitations reveal a much broader scope—including pesticide disposal event staffing (Texas Department of Agriculture), election night warehouse workers (Cuyahoga County Board of Elections), asphalt paving crew support (City of Tampa), and substitute teacher services (Hillsborough County Public Schools)—reflecting a catch-all classification for short-term personnel augmentation across multiple sectors and skill levels.

State agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, with particular concentration among large Texas jurisdictions (Texas Department of Agriculture, City of San Antonio, Railroad Commission of Texas, Texas Tech University, State of Texas cooperative programs), Florida entities (Hillsborough County Public Schools, City of Tampa, Orange County, Inland Empire Health Plan), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Axia Cooperative, Texas SMART BUY) that aggregate demand across multiple states. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Agriculture's pesticide disposal event staffing RFP (5510000952, due August 17, 2026), the City of Richardson's temporary general and heavy labor ITB (5826, due June 25, 2026), the County of Ventura's temporary staffing RFP (6251, due June 11, 2026) covering nine occupational categories across 77 job classifications, and Hillsborough County Public Schools' substitute teacher services RFP (#26058-RFP-DST, due March 23, 2026) budgeted at $50 million annually. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Colorado, California, Arizona, and the Upper Midwest, with significant cooperative purchasing volume across multiple states. Most contracts are structured as indefinite-quantity or requirements-based agreements with one- to five-year terms, markup-percentage or time-and-materials pricing, multiple-award capability, and no guaranteed minimum volumes, making pursuit feasible for firms with established staffing networks and ability to meet local compliance, insurance, and background-screening requirements on short notice.
