UNSPSC 93131507: Displaced persons assistance services

UNSPSC 93131507 Displaced persons assistance services is a Commodity code covering financial assistance, case management, employment services, and skills training for refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, and other eligible immigrant populations. State and local governments procure these services through grants and contracts with nonprofits and community-based organizations; the work includes direct financial assistance to individuals experiencing federal benefit losses, job search and placement support, English as a Second Language instruction, occupational training, childcare and transportation support, and navigation assistance for displaced or newly arrived populations. The issuing bodies are primarily state-level departments and agencies, specifically the Oregon Department of Human Services and Oregon Health Authority, procuring through both grant and contract vehicles with nonprofit capacity requirements and multi-year term options tied to performance.

The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Self-Sufficiency Programs, Refugee Program issued two major recent opportunities under this code. An RFP posted June 16, 2026 sought proposals for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services with proposals due July 16, 2026, anticipating two separate awards covering Portland-Metro and Salem-Corvallis-Eugene service areas plus statewide virtual services, with contract values of $3,000,000 (Area 1) and $400,000 (Area 2) and one-year initial terms renewable up to five years. An RFGP posted July 1, 2026 for Financial Assistance for HR1-Impacted Immigrants sought grant proposals due July 31, 2026 to distribute up to $2 million across up to four nonprofit grants of at least $500,000 each for direct financial assistance and case management to refugees and humanitarian immigrants experiencing SNAP benefit reductions. Both solicitations require three years of relevant experience serving refugee and immigrant populations, cap administrative costs at 15%, and require COBID certification disclosure and compliance with pay equity requirements. Geographic activity is concentrated in Oregon, with the state agency conducting outreach and enrollment both regionally (Portland-Metro and Willamette Valley) and statewide through virtual service delivery.
