UNSPSC 80160000: Business administration services

UNSPSC 80160000 Business administration services is a Family code that encompasses consulting, administrative support, staffing, and operational management services across a broad array of government functions — from workforce center operations and child care program administration to healthcare enrollment processing, pension system modernization, and benefits advisory. State and local governments procure under this code when they need external expertise or operational capacity for core administrative and business functions that require specialized knowledge, scalable staffing, technology infrastructure, or compliance management beyond in-house capability.

Recent solicitations show a diversified issuing-body mix spanning state departments, county governments, cities, independent school districts, workforce development boards, transit authorities, and special-purpose entities. Delaware's Division of Public Health (consulting services), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (healthcare enrollment), Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation (mainframe operations), the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (grant writing), and Workforce Solutions North Texas (workforce center and child care operations) all posted within the recent window. The code sees sustained activity across workforce development, human services administration, healthcare operations, benefits and pension management, financial services, and transportation — reflecting the essential administrative backbone of state and local government. Geographic spread spans Delaware, Texas, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, California, and other states, with no obvious concentration; the activity is genuinely national. Representative recent opportunities include the Delaware Division of Public Health's multi-vendor RFP for open and continuous consulting services across seventeen service categories (due September 15, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's sole-source RFP for Enrollment Broker Operations with historical compensation of $75 million to $82 million per fiscal year and a pre-proposal conference on July 21, 2026; Workforce Solutions North Texas's RFP for child care services management and operations serving eleven Texas counties with year-one value near $10.5 million (due June 30, 2026); and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services's RFR for MassHealth provider operations business support services, a five-year contract with optional extensions running through June 2034 and responses due June 22, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
