UNSPSC 86101607: Telecommunications vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101607 Telecommunications vocational training services is a Commodity code that covers workforce development and job-readiness training delivered to populations facing employment barriers, including incarcerated individuals, people experiencing homelessness, persons with disabilities, and students in transition. State and local procurement under this code spans speech-language pathology support in schools, commercial driver's license training, vocational rehabilitation services, reentry programming for formerly incarcerated persons, and specialized skills training in healthcare IT, industrial automation, and mainframe systems, with delivery models ranging from classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training to online bootcamps and remote consultation.

School districts dominate recent solicitation activity, with Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posting a $11.6 million RFP for speech-language pathologists and assistants, Katy Independent School District in Texas seeking educational interpreting services and districtwide staff development, and Pinellas County Schools in Florida requesting STEAM enrichment for private schools. Community colleges and workforce agencies also appear frequently: Collin County Community College in Texas has posted multiple solicitations for CDL training; the Texas Workforce Commission issued multiple open enrollments for Project SEARCH, employment services, diabetes self-management education, assistive technology services, and orientation and mobility training; and the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority sought OSHA fall protection and aerial lift training. Other issuers include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (reentry services in Austin and San Antonio), the City of Palm Bay, Florida (CDL training for municipal employees), San Mateo County in California (jail programs including vocational training and cognitive behavioral interventions), the University of Texas at Dallas (bootcamp-style cybersecurity and data analytics education), and specialized providers supporting disability services and justice-involved populations. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (workforce rehabilitation and reentry programming), Florida (school district staffing and training), Illinois (state agency training subscriptions), and California (county and municipal service procurement). Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 24127-ARFPDST for speech-language services due March 23, 2026 (RFP notice type); Collin County Community College's FY2026RFP065 for CDL training due September 1, 2026 (RFP); Texas Workforce Commission's open enrollment 3202600209 for Project SEARCH due February 9, 2027 (rolling enrollment); and the City of Palm Bay's ITB 37ITB26 for CDL training due May 19, 2026 (ITB with public bid opening).
