UNSPSC 80111720 Executive recruitment service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit professional search and staffing services to fill executive-level, administrative, and specialized personnel positions. Recent solicitations reveal that government agencies use this code to procure nationwide executive searches for C-suite roles (School Superintendents, Public Works Directors, Athletic Directors, County Administrators), specialized administrative staffing (temporary office support, planning and regulation personnel, nutrition services coordinators), employee screening and background verification services, occupational health testing (physicals, drug testing, psychological evaluations), and interim leadership placement. The issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, municipalities, special-purpose districts (transit authorities, workforce development boards), state agencies, and higher-education institutions. State agencies and county purchasing offices dominate the recent activity, alongside independent school districts and city procurement bureaus. Repeat buyers include San Mateo County (background investigation and administrative investigative services), Bridgeport and other Connecticut municipalities (superintendent and staffing searches), and Texas state agencies (HHSC, TPWD, Department of Public Safety).

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and Georgia, with secondary activity across Colorado, Ohio, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County Sheriff's Office's RFP for contracted administrative investigative services (RFP 2027RFPINFORMAL00004, due July 22, 2026); the City of Bridgeport's superintendent search RFP (BEX041265, due May 15, 2026); Columbus Consolidated Government's executive search for a Sports & Entertainment Authority Director (RFP 26-0036, due June 26, 2026); Pinellas County's on-call executive search services contract (RFP 260276, due April 14, 2026); and the City of Portland's three-award on-call executive search framework (RFP 00002686, due June 30, 2026).
