Temporary Staffing Services, As Needed

The District intends to procure temporary staffing and/or contract services on an as-needed basis in accordance with the specifications and requirements set forth in this Request for Proposal (RFP). Services may include, but are not limited to, temporary staffing, recruitment, and payroll administration. The number of positions and total hours required will vary based on District needs. Any resulting contract award(s) shall be available for use by all departments and sites within the District.

Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) operates more than 100 educational and administrative facilities throughout the Tucson metropolitan area and is the largest and oldest school district in Tucson. The District serves a diverse student population and maintains a wide range of instructional, operational, and support functions necessary to ensure effective educational delivery and organizational performance.

Due to the size, scope, and complexity of its operations, TUSD periodically requires temporary staffing services to support continuity of operations, address staffing shortages, and meet fluctuating workload demands. These needs may arise from employee absences, vacancies, special projects, seasonal demands, or other operational requirements across school sites and administrative departments.

Temporary staffing services provide the District with the flexibility to efficiently supplement its workforce with qualified personnel on an as-needed basis. These services may include, but are not limited to, recruitment, screening, placement, onboarding, and payroll administration of temporary employees in a variety of roles, including clerical, technical, instructional support, and other non-permanent positions.

The District seeks to partner with qualified vendors capable of providing reliable, timely, and compliant staffing solutions that align with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, as well as District policies and procedures. The intent is to ensure that all temporary personnel meet required qualifications, including background and fingerprint clearance requirements, and can effectively support the District’s mission of providing high-quality education and services to its students and community.
