UNSPSC 93141802: Recruitment services

UNSPSC 93141802 Recruitment services (Commodity) encompasses the staffing, search, and placement functions that state and local governments actually procure today: temporary staffing across multiple skill levels for municipal departments and school districts; executive and superintendent search services for leadership positions; workforce development and employment training programs targeting low-income and vulnerable populations; and absence management with substitute teacher and paraprofessional placement for school districts. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon DHS, Colorado DHS, South Dakota Department of Education), counties (Solano, Pinal, DeKalb, Los Angeles), cities (Bridgeport, Temple, Orlando, Stamford, Pinellas), and specialized districts (Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland), with school districts and workforce development authorities appearing as frequent repeat buyers. The work ranges from routine temporary labor support (administrative, clerical, skilled trades, food service) to specialized recruitment (executive directors, police and fire leadership, school superintendents) to federal workforce-development programs targeting refugees, CalWORKs clients, SNAP recipients, seniors, and at-risk youth.

Recent activity clusters in three geographic regions. Oregon shows sustained demand through the Oregon Department of Human Services' refugee employment services RFP (Area 1 Portland-Metro, Area 2 Salem-Eugene, $3.4 million combined, July 2026 response deadline) and a sole-source data-collection contract with Cornell University for closeout evaluation of the Inclusive Career Advancement Program (July 2026 protest window). California activity includes the County of Solano's open and continuous RFI for welfare-to-work expanded employment services (May 2027 rolling deadline) and the Los Angeles County Aging & Disabilities Department's Senior Community Service Employment Program RFP (April 2, 2026 deadline). Texas and Colorado show emerging opportunity through the State of Texas's reentry services RFI (market-research phase, June 2026) and Colorado DHS's SNAP Employment and Training RFPs for multiple areas ($3.7 million estimated across awards, May 26, 2026 deadline). Smaller but active solicitations span Connecticut (Bridgeport superintendent search RFP, May 15, 2026; absence management and staffing for schools, May 12, 2026), Florida (Pinellas County executive search, April 14, 2026; Collier County temporary staffing, July 2025 award), Arizona (Pinal County WIOA youth program, March 26, 2026), Georgia (DeKalb County WIOA One-Stop Operator, April 13, 2026), and Mississippi (Southcentral Mississippi Works workforce development, March 24, 2026). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon emphasizes certified disadvantaged business status, some Colorado and Texas opportunities target current or incumbent vendors, and Bridgeport and other Connecticut municipalities reference MBE evaluation credits. The code shows sustained demand driven by federal workforce funding (WIOA, SNAP E&T, SCSEP) and local staffing pressure, particularly in schools and public safety recruitment.
