UNSPSC 93131803: Emergency housing services

UNSPSC 93131803 Emergency housing services is a Commodity code capturing the operational delivery of temporary shelter beds, case management, and facility support for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or crisis housing instability. State and local governments procure rapid-response shelter capacity, staffing, and wraparound services—emergency beds, intake operations, meals, clinical linkages, trauma-informed case management, and site-based supports—typically through RFPs and RFQs establishing both on-demand vendor pools and specific contract awards. The issuing-body mix spans county human-services departments (Broward, Hillsborough, Montgomery, San Mateo, Galveston), municipal housing and homeless services offices (Phoenix, Long Beach, Dallas, Harrisburg), transit and emergency-management divisions (Dane County, Tuolumne County, Pinellas County), and state housing authorities (Oregon OHCS). Housing authorities themselves solicit consulting services to support emergency and transitional housing programs, as in the Alameda Housing Authority's as-needed consultant pool and Harrisburg Housing Authority's development advisory contracts. A standout repeat buyer is the City of Dallas, which has issued multiple NOFAs for youth homeless services; similar patterns appear in multi-jurisdictional emergency-response procurement (Hillsborough County's concurrent ITBs for shelter staffing and incident-management teams; Pinellas County's dual procurements for emergency shelter clinical staffing and financial-assistance program administration).

Recent activity spans California (San Mateo, Long Beach, Alameda), Texas (Dallas, Galveston), Florida (Phoenix, Broward, Hillsborough, Pinellas), Pennsylvania (Montgomery, Harrisburg), Oregon, Wisconsin (Dane), and a handful of other states. Representative opportunities include the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's RFP for as-needed consulting services across nine PHA-related areas (Risk Management, Fair Housing, Moving to Work, Housing Choice Voucher program consulting, and housing development consulting), due August 11, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFQu for property management, master leasing, and housing-based supportive services for individuals exiting homelessness, due August 7, 2026; the County of San Mateo's RFP for on-call emergency and interim shelter beds with comprehensive case management for adult human trafficking victim-survivors, due June 18, 2026 (noting the RFP description indicates proposals were due June 18 but the posted date is June 22, suggesting the deadline may have passed); Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's RFP 26-30 for a Master Leasing Program serving unhoused single adults with Opioid Use Disorder, funded through opioid settlement dollars with a one-year contract ceiling of $639,572, due June 4, 2026; the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department's RFA for Regional Coordinators to administer shelter operations across Clackamas and Linn counties, with first-year total estimated funding of $102.5 million and individual award amounts to be determined by the state, due March 16, 2026; and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's ITB 26-00131 for emergency shelter staffing at an estimated three-year value of $374,610, due March 27, 2026.
