UNSPSC 80131504: Offshore temporary housing service

Service to provide and manage temporary housing at project or camp locations

UNSPSC 80131504 Offshore temporary housing service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure residential leases and housing development financing for occupied or to-be-occupied properties in support of government operations and workforce housing needs. Recent opportunities reveal a mismatch between the code's nominal scope ("offshore temporary housing") and actual state and local buying activity: the recent solicitations all involve domestic residential leases and affordable housing development, none of which are offshore or temporary in character. State and local issuing bodies under this code include state departments (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), county governments (Volusia County, Orange County), and higher-education institutions (Texas Tech University). The scope of work is split between operational housing—short-term residential leases for state agency employees or clients, including requirements for specific square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, utilities, maintenance response times, and insurance—and housing development financing, specifically predevelopment and construction loans for affordable multifamily rental projects serving very low-income households with extended deed restrictions.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has posted two IFBs for residential property leases in Kinney County (solicitation 8022677168V2, bid due June 15, 2026) and Howard County (solicitation 8022672172, bid due February 12, 2026), each seeking 24-month leases for three-bedroom, two-bathroom properties within specified driving distances of state parks to accommodate large breed dogs, with utilities and maintenance response requirements specified. Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1181 (proposals due March 10, 2026) for off-campus student apartment leases of 100 to 300 beds, requiring HUB subcontracting compliance and full adherence to Texas Senate Bill 8 private-bathroom requirements. In Florida, Volusia County's Department of Community Services posted solicitation 26P91MC (proposals due June 10, 2026) for a Local Government Area of Opportunity loan offering $460,000 in SHIP funds as a 50-year deferred, forgivable 0% interest loan to support one affordable multifamily rental housing construction or rehabilitation project with ten very low-income units. Orange County, Florida issued RFP Y26-102 (proposals due December 2–9, 2025) seeking a comprehensive service provider to operate a short-term residential program for up to ten adult female human trafficking victims with trauma-informed case management, counseling, and legal advocacy.
