UNSPSC 86000000 Education and Training Services is a Segment code encompassing the full range of training, instructional design, curriculum development, and educational support services that state and local governments procure to build employee capability, deliver student learning, administer categorical grant programs, and operate specialized educational facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show districts and agencies acquiring professional development training (federal grant management, leadership coaching, case documentation), curriculum materials and assessment systems, specialized instructor services for water education and early learning, learning management system platforms, and targeted youth and family support programming.

State education agencies, school districts, transit authorities, workforce development organizations, and specialized state departments (corrections, children and family services, environmental protection) are the primary issuing bodies. Oregon's Department of Early Learning and Care solicited preschool provider applications across two regional early learning hubs (Northwest and Eastern) with grant-funded slots for children ages three to five at $16,000 per slot annually; Connecticut State Community Colleges sought bookstore operations across 12 campuses; and Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procured a SaaS learning management system with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting participation, requiring a platform supporting unlimited users and courses with 99.5 percent uptime. Stockton Unified School District, the fifteenth largest in California, requested academic and extracurricular support services targeting at-risk students, encouraging proposals from DBE, SLBE, and SELBE firms. Utah Department of Transportation, Rhode Island Departments of Education and Children, Youth and Families, and San Mateo County Probation Department all posted training and coaching solicitations. Activity concentrates in California (Stockton, San Mateo, Tuolumne, Orange counties), Oregon, Texas, Connecticut, Utah, and Rhode Island, with secondary activity across other states including Illinois, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, and New Hampshire. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care's preschool provider applications (RFA, due August 17, 2026) across two hubs; Connecticut State Community College's bookstore operations RFP (due August 12, 2026); Texas Comptroller's Element Learning Management Solutions RFO with VetHUB requirement (due August 5, 2026); and Stockton Unified's academic support services RFP offering DBE/SLBE encouragement (due August 4, 2026).
