UNSPSC 80111620: Temporary human resources services

UNSPSC 80111620 Temporary human resources services is a Commodity code that encompasses the recruitment, screening, placement, payroll administration, and ongoing management of temporary personnel across all job categories and skill levels. State and local governments procure under this code to address workforce gaps, seasonal staffing surges, specialized skill shortages, disaster response, and gaps created by hiring delays or extended leave—drawing on vendors to serve as employer of record, manage benefits and tax compliance, conduct background checks and drug screening, and maintain candidate pools for rapid deployment. Recent state and local solicitations show active procurement across municipal departments, county governments, school districts, workforce development boards, state agencies, correctional facilities, and specialized operations including emergency services, child nutrition programs, mental health services, event management, and facility maintenance.

Activity spans Florida, Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Maryland, Mississippi, Virginia, and other jurisdictions with no single dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent procurements include the City of St. Petersburg's RFP 26281 for temporary staffing across 25 position categories with 48-hour fill-time requirements and incumbent rates from $19.32 to $99.52 per hour (due October 29, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 24127-RFP-DST for approximately 100 speech-language pathologist and 2 SLPA positions with annual budget near $11.6 million and proposals due March 23, 2026; the City of Alexandria, Virginia's RFP 2022 for 175–200 daily temporary placements across nine position classifications with a three-year initial term and historical annual spend of $8.2 million (proposals due August 26, 2026); the Florida Department of Commerce's RFP 16689 for disaster-recovery temporary staffing across 67 counties as employer of record under a 36-month cost-reimbursement contract (proposals due September 3, 2026); the Boulder County Sheriff's Office's RFP for 24/7 EMT staffing at the county jail with four positions and minimum three-year experience required (proposals due October 26, 2026); and the Colorado Department of Corrections' RFP for substance-use-disorder clinicians and assessors serving multiple correctional facilities with fixed hourly rates and performance goals (proposals due September 7, 2026). Cooperative purchasing vehicles remain active—Oregon's use of Robert Half through HGAC and Texas SMART BUY are recent examples—allowing state agencies to access pre-negotiated staffing agreements without individual competitive solicitations. NASPO ValuePoint temporary employment services solicitation 60-00000-26-00092 (due August 11, 2026) creates a multi-state master contract vehicle.
