UNSPSC 80161504: Clerical services

UNSPSC 80161504 Clerical services (Commodity) spans a wider range of state and local work than the code name suggests. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying administrative support staffing, call center and enrollment processing, temporary clerical placements, process serving, and specialized administrative consulting across education, health and human services, courts, and general municipal operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Education Agency, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Agriculture, Washington State Department of Commerce), county governments (Broward County, Fairfax County, Galveston County, Kenosha County, San Mateo County), cities (Tucson, Fort Worth), and independent school districts through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Texas Education Agency and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers, collectively posting multiple clerical and administrative staffing solicitations since May 2026. The work reflects sustained demand for temporary staffing, managed enrollment and call center operations, professional administrative consulting, and specialized services such as process serving and grant administration.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary activity in California (San Mateo County), Wisconsin (Kenosha County), Virginia (Fairfax County), Florida (Broward County), Oregon, Arizona, and the District of Columbia. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting proposals for 52 managed IT Service Desk and Deskside Support positions under RFO HHS0017021 (RFP, due November 3, 2026) with 36-month initial term and two optional extensions; the City of Tucson soliciting Temporary Employment and Staffing Services across General Clerical, IT, and Finance categories under RFP 260222 (RFP, due May 22, 2026) with one-year term and four optional extensions through Axia Cooperative; Fairfax County, Virginia seeking process server services for child welfare and adult welfare legal documents under RFP 2000004361 (RFP, due June 19, 2026) with initial one-year term and four renewal options; and Kenosha County, Wisconsin requesting supervised visitation services under Solicitation 202603 (RFP, due June 30, 2026) with one-year term and four renewal options. Opportunities reflect mixed contracting patterns—some single-vendor consolidations, others intentionally structured for multiple awards to ensure coverage and flexibility.
