UNSPSC 93141806: Employment statistics or forecasting services

UNSPSC 93141806 Employment statistics or forecasting services, a Commodity code, encompasses workforce data analysis, program evaluation reporting, employment training delivery, and job placement support services that state and local governments procure to assess labor market conditions, track employment outcomes, and deliver federally or state-funded workforce development programming. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include workforce development boards, departments of human services, disability services agencies, school districts, and county social services divisions. The scope of work being purchased reflects a mix of evaluation and operational services: some solicitations target analytical services (program evaluation, data collection, and outcome reporting for employment or training initiatives), while others seek operational workforce service delivery including job training, placement assistance, coaching, and subsidized employment coordination. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Human Services' RFP for Refugee Employment and Pre-Employment Training Services (due July 16, 2026, with contract values of $3 million for Portland-Metro and $400,000 for Salem-Corvallis-Eugene areas); the Colorado Department of Human Services' RFP for SNAP Employment and Training services (due May 26, 2026, targeting up to five awards statewide); Pinal County Workforce Development Board's RFP for WIOA Title I-B Youth Program services (due March 27, 2026, with estimated annual budget $400,000 to $475,000); and the County of Los Angeles Aging & Disabilities Department's RFP for Senior Community Service Employment Program services throughout Los Angeles County (excluding City of Los Angeles, due April 2, 2026).

Geographic activity centers on western and southwestern states with recent solicitations in Oregon, Colorado, California (Solano and Los Angeles counties), Arizona, and Texas, alongside mid-Atlantic activity in District of Columbia and South Carolina. The issuing-body mix is diverse: state workforce departments and human services agencies drive the largest share, with county workforce boards and social services divisions also active. School districts and transit authorities represent smaller segments. Repeat buyers include the District of Columbia Department of Disability Services (five RFP postings for FY26 DDS-RSA Vocational Services between February and July 2026) and Solano County (two separate welfare-to-work subsidized employment program solicitations, one time-limited RFI and one open-continuous RFI). Evaluation criteria across recent solicitations weight organizational experience, past employment outcomes, financial capacity, and service delivery approach heavily; set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises vary by jurisdiction but appear in some offerings (Colorado SNAP procurement explicitly requires current vendor experience and excludes new entrants). Contract structures range from cost-reimbursement models (common in federal workforce programs) to fixed-fee and time-and-materials arrangements; initial terms typically run one program year (July-June cycle) with renewal options for two to four additional years contingent on performance and continued funding.
