UNSPSC 93141803: International labor standards services

UNSPSC 93141803 International labor standards services, a Commodity code, encompasses workforce development, employment training, and vocational rehabilitation services that state and local governments procure to serve economically disadvantaged populations, justice-involved individuals, refugees, and other groups facing employment barriers. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying employment and training delivery, subsidized work-based learning coordination, job coaching and placement, case management, skills training, and wraparound support services. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Human Services, Colorado Department of Human Services, South Dakota Department of Education), county governments (Solano County, DeKalb County, Pinal County, Los Angeles County), cities (Bridgeport, Orlando, Temple, New Haven), and special-purpose districts and workforce boards. Repeat buyers include the District of Columbia Department of Disability Services, which has posted multiple RSA Vocational Services solicitations across the first half of 2026, and Solano County, which maintains both a time-limited and an open continuous RFI for its welfare-to-work subsidized employment program. Services span WIOA One-Stop Operator roles, SNAP Employment and Training delivery, refugee resettlement employment, senior community service employment, youth workforce development, reentry services, and training coordination for public benefits recipients.

Geographic activity concentrates in the West (Oregon, Colorado, California, Arizona), Mid-Atlantic (District of Columbia, Connecticut, Florida), and Southeast (Georgia, Mississippi), with some representation in the Midwest and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Human Services' RFP for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services (Area 1: $3,000,000 not-to-exceed; Area 2: $400,000; responses due July 16, 2026); the Colorado Department of Human Services' SNAP Employment and Training procurement targeting up to five awards statewide (responses due May 26, 2026); and the Solano County ongoing RFI for Expanded Subsidized Employment Program partners (continuous intake, due May 19, 2027). The South Dakota Department of Education sought a JAG (Jobs for Americas Graduates) program implementation consultant (responses due June 18, 2026), while the Pinal County Workforce Development Board solicited WIOA Title I-B youth services ($400,000–$475,000 estimated annual budget; responses due March 26, 2026). Los Angeles County Aging & Disabilities posted an RFP for Senior Community Service Employment Program services covering Los Angeles County excluding the City of Los Angeles (responses due April 2, 2026). Multiple jurisdictions structure these as cost-reimbursement contracts, require demonstrated federal grant management experience, impose performance-based metrics, and mandate compliance with federal workforce regulations and data-system reporting.
