UNSPSC 93141814: International labor services

UNSPSC 93141814 International labor services is a Commodity code capturing employment services, job training, staffing, and workforce development delivery across state and local government. State and local bodies procure this code to fill staffing gaps, support workforce development initiatives, administer federal employment programs like WIOA and SNAP Employment and Training, and place workers in subsidized or temporary roles. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of human services, county workforce boards and social services divisions, city purchasing offices, and specialized authorities like workforce development areas. Recent solicitations span temporary staffing (City of Temple Texas RFP for administrative and labor services; Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland for seasonal field technicians; Collier County Florida for multi-category temporary employment), refugee and immigrant employment services (Oregon Department of Human Services RFP for refugee employment and pre-employment training in two service areas, not-to-exceed $3 million for Area 1 and $400,000 for Area 2), WIOA-funded youth and adult career services (DeKalb County Georgia One-Stop Operator; Pinal County Arizona WIOA Title I-B youth program), SNAP employment programs (Colorado Department of Human Services Employment First program, RFP for third-party partners with cost-reimbursement at 50 percent of allowable costs), and specialized placements such as executive search firms (Pinellas County Florida, City of Bridgeport Connecticut superintendent search, Columbus Sports & Entertainment Authority Executive Director search).

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Solano County welfare-to-work subsidized employment RFI with ongoing open enrollment through May 2027), Oregon (refugee services and seasonal staffing), Colorado (SNAP Employment and Training), and multi-state programs administered by individual state agencies. The District of Columbia Department of Disability Services issued multiple separate vocational services solicitations (RFP DOC836212 in July 2026, DOC831854 in June, DOC822920 and DOC822440 in April, DOC817666 in March, and DOC812610 in February), each with limited posted detail.
