UNSPSC 93141801: Employment promotion or planning services

UNSPSC 93141801 Employment promotion or planning services is a Commodity code reflecting the scope of work state and local governments currently solicit under it: vocational rehabilitation and employment training for disadvantaged, disabled, refugee, and other barrier-facing populations; job placement and job coaching services; subsidized employment programs; temporary staffing for operational and administrative needs; and executive search and recruitment for leadership positions. The code spans a wide range of issuing bodies—state vocational rehabilitation divisions, county workforce boards and departments of human services, city procurement offices, school districts, and special-purpose authorities—with repeat activity from the Oregon Department of Human Services, the District of Columbia Department of Disability Services, Solano County, and Colorado's workforce development system. Recent opportunities range from a $70,000 sole-source contract with Cornell University through the Oregon Department of Human Services for closeout evaluation of a federal demonstration project for workers with disabilities (due July 15, 2026) to a $3 million statewide RFP from the Oregon Department of Human Services for refugee employment and pre-employment training across two geographic areas (proposals due July 16, 2026), a Colorado Department of Human Services RFP for SNAP Employment and Training service providers with up to five awards (due May 26, 2026), and a South Dakota Department of Education RFP for Jobs for Americas Graduates program implementation and specialist training (due June 18, 2026). Solicitations also include job placement services for CalWORKs clients through Solano County's ongoing RFI for subsidized employment providers, WIOA One-Stop Operator and youth career services from DeKalb County and Pinal County, pre-employment assessments and temporary staffing from the City of Scottsdale, City of Temple, and Collier County, and senior employment services through Los Angeles County's SCSEP procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Solano County, Los Angeles County), Oregon, Colorado, and Texas, with additional recent solicitations from Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Dakota. The issuing-body mix skews toward state workforce agencies, county departments of human services and workforce boards, and municipal procurement offices, with school districts and independent authorities present but less frequent. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Human Services' RFP for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services (RFP-level, proposals due July 16, 2026, $3 million for Area 1 and $400,000 for Area 2), the Colorado Department of Human Services' RFP for SNAP Employment and Training third-party service providers (RFP-level, proposals due May 26, 2026, up to five awards with 50 percent cost reimbursement), the Solano County Department of Health and Social Services' ongoing RFI for Welfare-to-Work Expanded Subsidized Employment program partners (open and continuous, due May 19, 2027), and the South Dakota Department of Education's RFP for Jobs for Americas Graduates program implementation (RFP-level, proposals due June 18, 2026, pricing subject to negotiation). All recent solicitations require comprehensive insurance, federal compliance (E-Verify, SAM.gov registration, HIPAA or equivalent data protections), and detailed program implementation plans; several impose performance metrics tied to employment placement rates and credential attainment.
