UNSPSC 80111713: Permanent information technology systems or database administrators

UNSPSC 80111713 Permanent information technology systems or database administrators is a Commodity code that nominally describes IT staffing roles, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal alignment with that scope. The solicitations posted under this code encompass recruitment services, occupational health screenings, background investigations, drug testing, temporary staffing, printing services, and specialized contract support—none of which involve permanent IT systems administration or database administration work. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting systems or that this code is used as a catch-all for professional services procurement where more precise UNSPSC alignment is unavailable or overlooked by issuing bodies.

The issuing bodies span a broad mix of jurisdictions: county governments (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, Volusia County, Marion County, San Mateo County, Bernalillo County), municipalities (City of Austin, City of DeBary, City of Olathe, City of Savannah, City of Orlando, City of Ft. Myers), state agencies (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, ODOT, TxDOT, Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Department of Transportation, State of California, Oregon DAS), transit authorities (Tucson City Court, Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Orlando Utilities Commission), school districts (Parkway School District, Northside ISD, Austin ISD), and special-purpose authorities (Events DC, Columbus Sports & Entertainment Authority, Seminole County/SunRail Commission). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, and Colorado, with scattered activity in Arizona, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include Tucson City Court's RFP for probation monitoring and GPS monitoring services (ITB 270113, due October 28, 2026), Gwinnett County's RFP for medical examinations and drug screening (RP039-26, due November 9, 2026), and Texas Tech University's RFP for recruitment search firms (RFP 774-214971517, due December 2, 2026). None of these solicitations involve IT database administration or systems management work; the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.
