UNSPSC 86101500: Agriculture and forestry and other natural resources training services

UNSPSC 86101500 Agriculture and forestry and other natural resources training services is a Class code describing workforce development and skills training delivered to state and local populations, though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of educational and vocational services. State and local governments use this code to procure speech-language pathology staffing, driver education, commercial driver's license training, vocational rehabilitation services, diabetes self-management education, orientation and mobility instruction, independent living skills, assistive technology training, and reentry employment services. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy Independent School District in Texas, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, Pinellas County School District in Florida, Stockton Unified School District in California), community colleges (Collin County Community College in Texas), workforce agencies (Texas Workforce Commission), state rehabilitation departments (Massachusetts, Texas, Rhode Island), municipal governments (City of Little Rock, City of Orlando, City of St. Petersburg, City of San Antonio), county sheriff offices (San Mateo County), and specialized state entities (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services). A standout repeat buyer is the Texas Workforce Commission, which has issued multiple open-enrollment solicitations for vocational rehabilitation services across the state.

Recent opportunities reflect sustained demand across multiple service lines. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 24127-RFP-DST in August 2024 (amended February 2026, proposals due March 23, 2026) seeking speech-language pathologists and assistants with an estimated annual budget of $11.6 million to address IDEA mandate compliance across 100 vacancies.
