UNSPSC 86101706: Health assistance vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101706 Health assistance vocational training services is a Commodity code describing direct workforce development and employment support services that state and local governments procure to connect individuals with disabilities, individuals experiencing barriers to employment, and justice-involved populations with skills training, job placement, and related supportive services. Recent opportunities show school districts, workforce development authorities, vocational rehabilitation agencies, county behavioral health departments, and municipal governments issuing RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and open-enrollment solicitations for speech-language pathology staffing, driver education instruction, commercial driver license training, vocational skills training, reentry services, and specialized rehabilitation services including orientation and mobility training, diabetes self-management education, and independent living skills instruction for blind and visually impaired customers. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued RFP 24127-RFP-DST on August 23, 2024, seeking speech-language pathologists and assistants on an as-needed basis to address critical IDEA-mandated staffing needs, with proposals due March 23, 2026; the procurement anticipates approximately 100 SLP vacancies and 2 SLPA vacancies with an estimated annual budget of $11,641,950, including up to $3 million in IDEA grant funding. Collin County Community College solicited commercial driver license training services through RFP FY2026-RFP-057, with proposals due May 19, 2026, for a five-year turnkey CDL program beginning September or November 2026. Texas Workforce Commission issued multiple open-enrollment procurements for vocational rehabilitation services including employment assessments, supported employment, assistive technology services for visually impaired customers, orientation and mobility training, diabetes self-management education, and independent living services for older individuals who are blind, with rolling applications accepted through various deadlines in 2026 and 2027.

The issuing-body mix spans state workforce development agencies (Texas Workforce Commission, Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Illinois Department of Children and Family Services), independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Katy Independent School District, Pinellas County School District, Stockton Unified School District, Wicomico County Public Schools), community colleges (Collin County Community College, City Colleges of Chicago), county departments (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office for jail programming, Tuolumne County Behavioral Health), cities (City of Little Rock, City of Palm Bay, City of St. Petersburg, City of Orlando, Atlanta Beltline Inc.), and special-purpose authorities (Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, University of Texas at Dallas). Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Illinois, California, and Wisconsin, with additional solicitations from Georgia, Arkansas, Maryland, and Colorado. Representative opportunities span commercial driver license training (Collin County Community College, City of Palm Bay, Wicomico County Public Schools), specialized rehabilitation services (Texas Workforce Commission open-enrollment opportunities for O&M, diabetes education, assistive technology, and independent living services), speech and language pathology staffing (Hillsborough County Public Schools), employment and reentry services (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, City of Little Rock Bridge to Work Program, San Mateo County jail programs), and recreational and enrichment programming (Katy Independent School District districtwide staff development, Pinellas County Schools STEAM enrichment, City of Milpitas recreation classes). The code sees active procurement velocity with opportunities posted in waves through 2026 and into 2027, particularly under open-enrollment structures that permit continuous vendor qualification and rolling award cycles rather than fixed single-award competitions.
