UNSPSC 80111715: Permanent professional staff

UNSPSC 80111715 Permanent professional staff is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure recruitment, staffing, and professional placement services — search firms, locum tenens agencies, temporary staffing vendors, and administrative support contractors filling executive, professional, clinical, technical, and operational roles on a continuing or project basis. Recent solicitations reflect heavy demand from higher education, public safety, healthcare, and municipal operations, with work ranging from executive director and fire chief recruitment to contact-center staffing, emergency medical technician placement, probation monitoring personnel, and occupational health examiners. The mix of issuing bodies spans state universities, state health and human services departments, county sheriffs' offices and health agencies, city transit and utilities, independent school districts, municipal authorities, and special-purpose districts. Texas and Florida appear prominently in recent activity, alongside Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, California, and Illinois; the code sees steady use across mid-sized to large jurisdictions nationwide.

Recent representative opportunities include Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso requesting executive and clinical recruitment through search firms and locum tenens agencies under RFP 774-214971517 (proposals due December 2, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners soliciting medical examination and drug screening service providers under RFP RP039-26 (proposals due November 9, 2026); Tucson City Court procuring probation monitoring and GPS monitoring staff under RFP 270113 (proposals due October 28, 2026); the City of Austin seeking temporary staffing for two 24/7 contact centers under RFP 1100MTL3006 (proposals due September 1, 2026, with FY2025 supplemental staffing spend at $16.3 million and total contract authority at $69.8 million); and Boulder County Sheriff's Office requesting EMT staffing for jail medical operations under RFP RFP31726 (proposals due October 26, 2026). Several school districts and municipal departments have posted occupational health and drug-screening service RFPs, and executive recruitment solicitations from Harris County, the City of Portland, Oregon, and multiple public authorities indicate sustained demand for C-suite and leadership placement services. Insurance requirements, professional liability, and compliance certifications (FCRA, EEOC, workers' compensation) are standard across the code; local-business, SBE, and MBE preferences appear in multiple recent postings.
