UNSPSC 80111706: Permanent clerical or administrative assistance

UNSPSC 80111706 Permanent clerical or administrative assistance, a Commodity code, encompasses temporary staffing and administrative support services that state and local governments procure to backfill operational positions and manage capacity fluctuations. State and local buyers under this code source temporary clerical workers, contact-center representatives, administrative personnel, and skilled laborers for on-call or fixed-term deployments across departments and agencies. Recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader mix of staffing services than its narrow title suggests—Texas State University and the City of Austin have posted for temporary labor and skilled-labor services, while the City of Dallas seeks temporary stageland and tech labor for arts programming, and the District of Columbia has requested LIHEAP temporary support staff.

The issuing-body mix spans cities (Austin, Dallas, Portland, and Denver areas), counties (Denton, Solano), state universities and higher-education institutions (Texas State, Texas Southern), and special-purpose transit and public authorities. Austin and the cities dominate recent activity. Geographic concentration is evident in Texas—with postings from Texas State University, the City of Austin, and Denton County—and Oregon, with Portland's executive search and recruiting services RFP. Cities represent the largest issuing class, though school districts, state universities, and special districts appear as repeat buyers. The City of Austin issued RFP 1100MTL3006 on August 3, 2026 (updated Addendum 1 on August 7), seeking proposals due September 1, 2026, for 130 to 270 temporary contract personnel across Austin 311 and Austin Energy Utility Contact Centers, with a projected year-one cost of approximately $16.3 million in prior-year staffing spend and total authorized contract spend authority of $69.8 million; the contract runs 24 months with options for three additional 12-month extensions. The City of Portland issued RFP 00002686 on May 21, 2026 with proposals due June 30, 2026, for three on-call executive search and recruiting price agreements across municipal leadership and critical positions. Texas State University posted solicitation 754-TXST-2026-RFP-475-HR on May 22, 2026 (due May 22) for temporary personnel and skilled labor services through its Electronic Bidding System.
