UNSPSC 93131501: Protection of human rights services

UNSPSC 93131501 Protection of human rights services is a Commodity code encompassing financial assistance, employment training, case management, and supportive services for refugee and immigrant populations experiencing economic hardship or employment barriers. State and local governments use this code to procure grants and contracts with nonprofits and service organizations that deliver direct aid, job placement, language instruction, and navigation support to eligible foreign-born populations, often funded through federal refugee resettlement and temporary assistance programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of human services administering federal grant dollars, which distribute funds through competitive RFP and RFGP (Request for Grant Proposal) processes to qualified nonprofits with demonstrated experience serving refugee and immigrant communities.

Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, where the Department of Human Services posted two major opportunities in mid-2026. The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Self-Sufficiency Programs issued an RFGP for Financial Assistance for HR1 Impacted Immigrants (due July 31, 2026) distributing $2 million across up to four grant agreements of at least $500,000 each to support refugees and humanitarian immigrants experiencing SNAP benefit reductions, with services including financial assistance, case management, and outreach statewide. The same agency released an RFP for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services (due July 16, 2026) with two separate contract areas—Portland-Metro and Salem-Corvallis-Eugene, each plus virtual services statewide—totaling $3.4 million ($3 million for Area 1, $400,000 for Area 2) to provide job training, English instruction, placement services, and supportive transportation. Both solicitations require offerors to hold nonprofit registration or COBID certification (DBE, MBE, WBE, or equivalent), maintain comprehensive insurance, cap administrative costs at 15%, and demonstrate minimum three years' experience with eligible populations.
