UNSPSC 80111721: Non-Executive recruitment service

Identifying and recruiting non executive candidates using a variety of channels. Assessing candidates to ensure qualification match, cultural fit and compatibility. Conducting confidential interviews, checking references and credit.

UNSPSC 80111721 Non-Executive recruitment service is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure staffing, search, and placement services for professional and mid-level positions across their workforces. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers engaging recruitment firms to fill permanent and temporary roles, identify and screen candidates, manage interview processes, and provide temporary labor support—work that falls materially wider than the code's formal title suggests. The issuing bodies span county human services departments, cities, school districts, universities, transit authorities, and state agencies. Representative recent activity includes Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at El Paso posting an RFP for recruitment search firms and locum tenens staffing on October 15, 2026 (proposals due December 2, 2026), Austin Independent School District soliciting technical assistance for its Teacher Incentive Allotment system on July 13, 2026 (proposals due July 28, 2026), and the City of Austin requesting proposals for executive recruitment services on August 24, 2026 (proposals due September 24, 2026). The code also captures temporary staffing, occupational medicine and screening services, drug and alcohol testing, background checks and investigations, psychological evaluations, and administrative investigative support—a scope significantly broader than executive search alone. Early-stage requests for information and pre-advertisement notices indicate pipeline activity: the Oregon Department of Transportation posted an RFP for ODOT Director executive recruitment services on August 31, 2026 (proposals due September 8, 2026), with an estimated contract value between $70,000 and $100,000 and a 5% Oregon Small Business Enterprise preference available.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Texas (Houston, Austin, Dallas, Denton, San Antonio), Florida (DeBary, Fort Myers, Orlando), Georgia (Atlanta, Savannah, DeKalb, Gwinnett), Oregon (Portland, Eugene), Colorado (Boulder), California (Los Angeles, San Mateo), Washington, D.C., Kansas, New Mexico, and other states. Texas and Georgia account for the highest concentration of recent solicitations. The mix of issuing bodies skews toward cities, counties, and school districts, with standout repeat buyers including the City of Atlanta (multiple pre-advertisement notices for staffing, recruitment, and personnel services), the City of Austin (temporary staffing for contact centers and executive recruitment), and county human services and corrections departments across multiple states. Set-asides and preferences are inconsistent: some solicitations carry no restrictions; others reserve awards to small business enterprises (SBE), minority business enterprises (MBE), or disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE); the Washington Convention and Sports Authority designated its executive recruitment RFP exclusively for District of Columbia Department of Small, Local, and Business Development certified firms. Contract values range from under $100,000 (Orlando Department of Aviation credentialing support) to $69.8 million (Austin's five-year temporary staffing agreement for contact centers). The code shows sustained and diversified activity across occupational health screening, executive search, permanent and temporary workforce recruitment, background investigation, and specialized staffing in public safety, transit, corrections, and administrative support roles.
