UNSPSC 86101508: Environmental vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101508 Environmental vocational training services is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy speech-language pathology staffing, driver education instruction, commercial driver's license training, reentry and employment support services, diabetes and assistive-technology education, and other disability-focused workforce development and vocational training under this code. Recent solicitations show school districts, workforce agencies, criminal justice departments, and municipal governments using the code to fill immediate skill gaps, meet mandated service requirements, and support transition-to-work and employment-readiness programs for students with disabilities, individuals experiencing homelessness, former inmates, and vocational rehabilitation customers.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy Independent School District in Texas, Stockton Unified School District in California, Collin County Community College in Texas), state workforce and rehabilitation agencies (Texas Workforce Commission, Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), city and county agencies (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, City of Little Rock, City of Palm Bay), and specialized authorities (Atlanta Beltline Inc., Illinois State Toll Highway Authority). School districts and state vocational rehabilitation agencies show the most consistent recent activity. Geographic spread encompasses Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Maryland, Arkansas, and Rhode Island, with Texas and Florida accounting for the largest concentration of recent opportunities. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for speech-language pathologists and assistants (due March 23, 2026, approximately $11.6 million annually), Collin County Community College's RFP for commercial driver's license training (due May 19, 2026, five-year term), Texas Workforce Commission's open enrollments for Project SEARCH, employment services, diabetes self-management education, and assistive technology services for customers with visual impairments (various due dates through February 2027), and San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP for jail programs including vocational training (due March 23, 2026). Sole-source and pre-qualification models (Palm Beach County's term contract for vocational training, University of Texas at Dallas bootcamp education procurement) sit alongside competitive RFPs and open enrollments.
