UNSPSC 80111700: Personnel recruitment

UNSPSC 80111700 Personnel recruitment is a Class code covering the recruitment, staffing placement, and executive search services that state and local governments buy to fill temporary, permanent, and specialized positions across their organizations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for substitute teacher and paraprofessional placement, temporary administrative and technical staffing, incident management team deployment, promotional examination administration, executive search for senior municipal and agency leadership positions, and specialized services including grants consultants, hearing officers, and crossing guards. The work spans intake-to-placement services, background screening, candidate sourcing and vetting, onboarding coordination, and web-based management portals that track deployment and billing.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments, county governments, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts such as housing authorities. The Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development has posted multiple opportunities for grants consultants. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Greater Bridgeport Transit in Connecticut, and the City of Tucson (in partnership with the Axia Cooperative) have each solicited temporary staffing and substitute teacher services. Fire departments in Connecticut, Florida, and Massachusetts are active buyers of promotional testing and examination administration. City governments including College Park and Sun Prairie have posted executive search and town manager search procurements. Geographic spread includes activity across the Midwest (Missouri, Wisconsin), Southeast (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina), Northeast (Connecticut, Massachusetts), and Southwest (Arizona, Texas), with particularly high visibility from Florida school districts and Connecticut municipalities. Representative recent opportunities include the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development's Senior Grants Consultant IFB (RFP due July 21, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' Substitute Teacher Services RFP (due March 23, 2026) with an estimated budget of $50 million annually, the City of Tucson's Temporary Employment and Staffing Services RFP through the Axia Cooperative (due May 22, 2026), and the City of College Park's City Manager Executive Search Services RFP (due February 18, 2026).
