UNSPSC 93141805: Unemployment services

UNSPSC 93141805 Unemployment services, a Commodity code, encompasses Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services that state and local governments procure to provide counseling, crisis intervention, substance abuse referrals, and work-life support to employees and eligible dependents. Recent solicitations reveal that EAP remains the dominant activity under this code, though the category title "Unemployment services" does not reflect the actual scope of work being bought. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state agencies, counties, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities; Texas dominates recent activity, with multiple procurements from state departments (Housing and Community Affairs, historical commission), individual cities (Wichita, Lubbock, Orlando), and counties (Pinellas, Monroe, DeKalb, Williamson), while Georgia school districts and a single Illinois school district represent educational buyers. Representative recent solicitations include the State of Texas (Solicitation 304270833WS, RFP due July 28, 2026) for statewide EAP services with HUB subcontracting required, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (Solicitation 332RFP261003, due July 6, 2026) for services to approximately 393 employees across 12 Texas cities, the Texas Historical Commission (Solicitation 80826261504, RFP due June 29, 2026) requiring eight years of experience, and Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia (Solicitation RFP 008-26, due May 5, 2026) covering approximately 7,800 district employees. The City of Orlando, Florida (RFP26-0047, due May 12, 2026) solicited comprehensive EAP services for 3,721 employees at the current rate of $2.30 per-employee-per-month, and Williamson County, Texas (26RFP20, due March 3, 2026) budgeted $56,878.03 for approximately 2,150 employees.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Pricing is standardized on a per-employee-per-month (PEPM) basis across most recent solicitations; typical service levels include assessment and referral, short-term counseling (four to eight sessions per person per problem per year), 24/7 crisis hotline access, and supervisory training. Most procurements require vendors to meet minimum experience thresholds (typically three to eight years), maintain professional liability and general liability insurance at $500,000 to $2,000,000 limits, and comply with state-specific set-asides (Texas HUB requirements appear frequently). Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods. Several Texas procurements explicitly require HUB Subcontracting Plans and VetHUB plan submissions as mandatory conditions; the code shows active procurement momentum through mid-2026 with multiple overlapping response windows across the Texas state system and municipal buyers.
