UNSPSC 80111625: Temporary manual labor underground

Contract labor used undergroud to provide services as required.

UNSPSC 80111625 Temporary manual labor underground is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of temporary general and skilled labor placements for short-term, seasonal, event-based, and project-specific staffing needs. The code sees active solicitation across diverse work types: maintenance and repair staff augmentation at universities and facilities, grounds and landscaping labor for municipal operations, event staffing for election and conference support, asphalt paving crew augmentation, janitorial and environmental services staffing, and heavy lifting for warehouse and logistics operations. State and local governments procure temporary labor through staffing agencies rather than direct hire, leveraging vendor recruitment, screening, background checks, and rapid deployment capability to meet operational surges without long-term employment commitments.

State departments, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities actively solicit under this code with no single dominant buyer. Recent activity spans Texas state agencies (Texas Department of Agriculture pesticide disposal events, Texas Tech University maintenance staff, Texas Anti-Gang Center positions, State of Colorado temporary staffing RFP with 429,000 annual hours estimated), Florida counties and districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools substitute teachers estimated at $50 million annually, Collier County at $9.8 million annually), California jurisdictions (Inland Empire Health Plan janitorial staffing, City of Milpitas administrative staffing), Arizona municipalities (City of Tucson, City of Phoenix housing services), and mid-Atlantic and upper-Midwest districts (Cuyahoga County Board of Elections election-night and post-election staffing, Ocean Springs School District substitute teachers, Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development one-stop operator coordination). Geographic concentration spans Texas, California, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and Ohio, with secondary activity in Oregon, Illinois, Mississippi, and other states. Representative recent solicitations include the State of Colorado RFP-SPCO-26-BS01 for temporary staffing services across nine job categories statewide with 429,000 estimated annual hours (proposals due May 7, 2026), the City of Richardson ITB 5826 for temporary general and heavy labor with approximately $600,000 annual spend and multiple awards (bids due June 25, 2026), the County of Ventura RFP 6251 for temporary staffing across 77 occupational classifications with historical spend of $656,458.66 and estimated FY 2026/2027 spend of $800,000–$950,000 (proposals due June 10, 2026), and Texas Tech University RFP 2026-1191 for maintenance and repair staff augmentation across nineteen trade categories (proposals due July 31, 2026). Pricing typically employs hourly markup percentages applied to base wage rates, with markups ranging from 15 to 35 percent depending on labor category and jurisdiction. Evaluation weights emphasize past performance, vendor capability and experience, response-time guarantees (often 24–48 hours for placement), and cost reasonableness; many jurisdictions award multiple contracts to ensure redundancy and competitive pricing.
