UNSPSC 94131601: Charity organizations shelter services

UNSPSC 94131601 Charity organizations shelter services is a Commodity code representing the operation and staffing of emergency and transitional shelter facilities for homeless populations, domestic violence survivors, human trafficking victims, youth, and families experiencing housing crises. State and local governments currently procure shelter operations, case management services, facility staffing, intake and eligibility determination, clinical and behavioral health support, outreach services, and master leasing programs under this code, with activity concentrated across cities, counties, and state housing departments rather than school districts or transit authorities.

The issuing-body mix reflects substantial activity from municipal housing and emergency management departments, county human services and public health agencies, and state housing authorities. Recent opportunities show repeat solicitation patterns within individual jurisdictions—the City of Dallas has posted multiple notices for youth homeless services under different funding cycles, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's Office of Emergency Management has issued back-to-back invitations to bid for shelter staffing and incident management support, and the City of Phoenix is establishing a five-year qualified vendor list for housing services supporting people exiting homelessness. County-level procurement offices dominate the recent activity, particularly Broward, San Mateo, Dane, San Bernardino, Pinellas, Montgomery, and Hillsborough counties. Geographic concentration is heaviest in California (San Mateo, San Bernardino, Orange, Long Beach), Florida (Broward, Pinellas, Hillsborough), and Texas (Dallas, Galveston), with meaningful recent activity also in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFQu for housing services including property management and master leasing for people experiencing or exiting homelessness (responses due August 7, 2026), Broward County's RFI challenging a proposed sole-source award to The Salvation Army for emergency family shelter (responses due July 6, 2026), the County of San Mateo's RFP for on-call emergency and interim shelter beds with case management for human trafficking survivors (responses due June 18, 2026), the City of Dallas's NOFA for youth homeless and housing services administered by a single nonprofit subrecipient (applications due July 7, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB for emergency shelter staffing covering general operations and pet shelter support (bids due March 27, 2026, three-year term, estimated value $374,610).
