UNSPSC 80111619: Temporary creative services

UNSPSC 80111619 Temporary creative services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure contingent labor and specialized staffing across administrative, technical, professional, and support roles to fill temporary capacity gaps, augment permanent workforces during peak demand, and address short-term staffing shortages. Recent solicitations show the code's scope encompasses general temporary staffing (clerical, administrative, skilled trades, maintenance), specialized personnel (speech-language pathologists, emergency medical technicians, substance use disorder clinicians, kitchen staff), event-support labor, and employer-of-record arrangements. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Colorado Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Transportation, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, State of Oregon), county governments (Boulder County, Denton County, Harris County), municipalities (City of Alexandria, City of Phoenix, City of Dallas, City of St. Petersburg), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Richardson Independent School District, City Colleges of Chicago, Collin County Community College District), and specialized districts (Broward County Addiction Recovery Center, Teacher Retirement System of Texas, Orlando Utilities Commission). Temporary staffing is a steady demand signal across issuing bodies; recent activity shows repeat buyers including state procurement offices, regional workforce development boards, and district-level education and health authorities.

Activity is geographically distributed across the Southwest (Texas, Colorado), Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Midwest (Illinois, Mississippi), and Mid-Atlantic (Maryland, Virginia), with significant federal cooperative purchasing participation through NASPO ValuePoint, HGAC, and state-level cooperative vehicles that aggregate temporary staffing for multiple jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools issuing RFP 24127-RFP-DST in August 2024 to establish speech-language pathology services for approximately 100 vacancies with proposals due March 23, 2026; the City of St. Petersburg issuing RFP 26281 for temporary staffing across 25 position categories with proposals due October 29, 2026; the City of Alexandria issuing RFP 2022 for general temporary staffing with historical annual spend near $8.2 million and proposals due August 26, 2026; and the State of Texas directing participation in the SMART BUY cooperative purchasing program for staffing services effective August 21, 2026. Multiple states and localities are also procuring through NASPO ValuePoint master agreement RFP 60-00000-26-00092, with proposals due August 11, 2026, reflecting the growing consolidation of temporary staffing procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Market activity remains active and competitive with no supply shortage signals.
