UNSPSC 86101700: Non scientific vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101700 Non scientific vocational training services is a Class code spanning the delivery of short- and medium-term workforce skills training outside academic degree contexts. State and local governments purchase this code heavily to serve populations in need of immediate workforce entry, career transition, or remedial skill development — including job-readiness workshops, trade certifications, behavioral coaching for justice-involved populations, and specialized technical instruction for drivers, interpreters, and healthcare workers. Recent opportunities show school districts, workforce development boards, community colleges, county departments, and specialized agencies (rehabilitation services, probation, corrections) as primary buyers.

The geographic spread is national, with recent activity concentrated in Texas (Texas Workforce Commission open-enrollment vocational rehabilitation services, Collin County Community College and SCUC ISD CDL programs, Katy ISD staff development), California (Stockton Unified School District academic and enrichment support, University of Texas at Dallas bootcamp expansion), Florida (Katy ISD education interpreting, Hillsborough County speech-language pathology and microscope training, Pinellas County enrichment programs), Illinois (Illinois Tollway fall protection and aerial lift training, IDOT mainframe training, Illinois DCFS Nurturing Families program), and Arizona (Pinal County behavioral coaching). Representative recent solicitations include Stockton Unified School District RFP 26-27-02 (academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services, due August 4, 2026), Texas Workforce Commission open-enrollment RFPs for orientation and mobility services and diabetes self-management education (due November 24 and November 10, 2026 respectively), Illinois State Toll Highway Authority RFQ for fall protection and aerial lift training (due June 30, 2026), Collin County Community College CDL training RFP (due May 19, 2026), and Pinal County behavioral coaching RFP (due April 30, 2026). The code captures both broad provider networks serving multiple jurisdictions and single-jurisdiction procurement — Palm Beach County issued an ongoing term contract RFQ for vocational training services (due September 9, 2030) with rolling pre-qualification, while most school districts and workforce boards issue annual or multi-year renewals with standard evaluation criteria weighting experience, service quality, and cost. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body: some solicitations carry federal WIOA requirements for disadvantaged-business subcontracting plans and good-faith veteran or small-business participation targets, while others apply state or local SBE, MBE, or WBE preferences.
