Government contracts for staffing services in Massachusetts

Staffing services contracts in Massachusetts typically cover temporary clerical support, IT contractor staff augmentation, healthcare staffing for VA facilities, linguist and translation staffing, and surge-hiring task orders. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), and the bulk of the work flows to the VA, DoD components, and GSA. The bulk of small-business staffing awards flow through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and VA T4NG-style vehicles.

Massachusetts currently has 14 open staffing services contracts in our database, with 9 added in the last 30 days. That's a steady cadence — enough flow to make automated alerting worthwhile rather than manual portal-checking. The most active buyers are Department of Developmental Services (2 open posts) and City of Framingham (1), with the rest spread across other federal civilian agencies, DoD components, and state and local departments active in Massachusetts.

Beyond federal opportunities, much of the staffing services work in Massachusetts is posted through COMMBUYS, with recurring buyers including MassDOT, the MBTA, and University of Massachusetts campuses. Massachusetts uses statewide contracts (SWCs) — once you're on a relevant SWC, agencies can buy from you without re-soliciting. ContractRadar pulls federal postings from SAM.gov alongside state and local feeds so a staffing firm doesn't have to monitor each portal manually.
