UNSPSC 86101601: Computer vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101601 Computer vocational training services is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure a diverse mix of vocational, occupational, and skills training under this code — including commercial driver's license instruction, sign language interpretation training, mainframe programming and database courses, OSHA safety certifications, and healthcare-related technical education. The code also captures broader workforce development services such as job readiness coaching, career pathway curricula, and specialized training for populations with barriers to employment (justice-involved individuals, persons with disabilities, out-of-school youth). Recent solicitations show strong activity in public school districts, community colleges, workforce development boards, and municipal transit and fleet operations, with issuers ranging from small district purchasing offices to large state labor agencies. Texas Workforce Commission appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple open-enrollment procurements for specialized services including orientation and mobility training for blind and visually impaired customers, diabetes self-management education, and independent living skills instruction. School districts are prolific users of the code for both teacher professional development (Katy ISD, Pinellas County Schools) and student-facing instruction (Collin County Community College CDL program, Stockton Unified academic support services).

Geographic spread centers on Texas, California, Florida, and Illinois, with recent solicitations posted from Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Palm Beach County, Stockton, Chicago, Detroit, and Salt Lake City. The code sees continuous activity: Palm Beach County issued a long-term vocational training pre-qualification solicitation (RFQ F25-015/DJ, due September 2030); Texas Workforce Commission posted rolling open-enrollment opportunities for diabetes education (due November 2026) and orientation and mobility services (due November 2026); Collin County Community College issued an RFP for five-year CDL training (FY2026RFP057, due May 2026); Salt Lake City Corporation solicited cyber security training for 3,000 employees (SLCI26063, $75,000 ceiling, due June 2026); and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority requested OSHA fall protection and aerial lift training quotes (26557THAPROCUB52179, due June 2026).

Multiple Workforce Solutions boards and state agencies continue rolling enrollment for youth employment services, reentry programs, and specialized rehabilitation training, reflecting sustained federal and state funding for job readiness and occupational skills across disadvantaged and transition-eligible populations.
