UNSPSC 86101605: Medical vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101605 Medical vocational training services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure a diverse mix of workforce development and training offerings—from direct vocational instruction in medical, technical, and personal-service fields to broader career coaching, job readiness, and employment support programs. The actual work being solicited spans specialized healthcare education (interpreting services for deaf students, diabetes self-management training, orientation and mobility training for blind individuals), allied trades (Commercial Driver's License training, OSHA-compliant safety instruction, cosmetology and barbering), and integrated workforce services combining classroom instruction with internships and career coaching. Issuing bodies range across school districts (Stockton Unified, Katy ISD, Pinellas County Schools), state workforce agencies (Texas Workforce Commission, Illinois Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development), community colleges (Collin County Community College, Northwest Mississippi Community College), county detention and probation departments (Pinal County, San Mateo County Sheriff, Orange County Probation), universities (University of Texas at Dallas), and regional workforce boards (Workforce Solutions Borderplex, West Central Works Workforce Development Board). The code sees concentrated recent activity in Texas, reflecting both the TWC's rolling open-enrollment procurement structure for blind services, diabetes education, and independent living skills, and multiple school district CDL training solicitations (Collin County Community College, Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Katy ISD). Activity also appears in California (Stockton Unified), Florida (Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Palm Bay), Illinois (IDOT, ISTHA), and Wisconsin, with additional notable solicitations in Arizona, Michigan, and the District of Columbia.

Representative recent opportunities include Stockton Unified School District's RFP 26-27-02 for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services posted July 15, 2026 with proposals due August 4, 2026, which sought mentorship, leadership development, enrichment programming, and social-emotional wellness support targeting at-risk students across 55 schools; the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600171 for short-duration training events for vocational rehabilitation customers posted June 12, 2026 with proposals due July 24, 2026, requiring training in Pre-ETS, blind and visually impaired services, deaf and hard of hearing services, and neurodevelopmental specializations with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plans; Palm Beach County's open pre-qualified vendor list RPQ #F25-015/DJ for vocational training services posted July 1, 2026 with rolling submissions through September 9, 2030, establishing a term contract vehicle under which delivery orders will be issued on a project-by-project basis; and Collin County Community College's RFP for five-year CDL training services posted May 4, 2026 with proposals due May 19, 2026, requiring turnkey delivery with classroom instruction, behind-the-wheel training, on-site testing, and job placement support. Texas dominates the recent activity stream through TWC's multiple concurrent open-enrollment opportunities (Orientation and Mobility, Independent Living Services for Older Individuals who are Blind, Diabetes Self-Management Education, and Short-Duration Training Events), each accepting rolling applications through mid-to-late 2026, with substantial federal funding tied to WIOA formula grants and other workforce programs, while school districts across multiple states pursue CDL and specialized education services on traditional procurement cycles with firm deadlines and fixed contract terms.
