UNSPSC 86101707: Personal care vocational training services

UNSPSC 86101707 Personal care vocational training services, a Commodity code, covers hands-on occupational training and certifications for job seekers and workers transitioning into service and care fields—from commercial driver licensing and cosmetology to interpreter skills and behavioral coaching. State and local governments procure this code primarily through school districts, workforce development boards, community colleges, and county social services agencies, with recent activity concentrated in Texas, California, Illinois, Florida, and Colorado. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Workforce Commission's RFP 3202600171 for short-duration vocational rehabilitation training with mandatory veteran-owned subcontracting targets (due July 24, 2026); Collin County Community College District's RFP FY2026RFP057 for turnkey Commercial Driver's License training under a five-year contract (due May 19, 2026); Stockton Unified School District's RFP 26-27-02 for academic and emotional support services including work-based learning and career technical education alignment for at-risk students (due August 4, 2026); and the Texas Workforce Commission's open enrollment for Orientation and Mobility services (due November 24, 2026) and Diabetes Self-Management Education Services (due November 10, 2026), both operating on rolling-award bases with fixed hourly rates. Activity clusters around WIOA Title I-B youth programs, vocational rehabilitation service contracting, school district enrichment and skills training, and jail and detention center reentry programming.

The mix of issuing bodies skews heavily toward state workforce agencies and school districts, with growing participation from community colleges, county social services, and municipal detention facilities. Texas Workforce Commission and workforce development boards are repeat buyers under this code, particularly for open-enrollment offerings with multi-year terms and rolling award structures. Geographic spread is concentrated in Texas (the largest share, driven by TWC open-enrollment procurements), California (school districts), Illinois (state social services), and Florida (school districts and county detention); secondary activity appears in Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Set-aside programs vary by jurisdiction—Texas applies HUB preferences and veteran-subcontracting mandates; California districts emphasize DBE, SLBE, and SELBE participation; the District of Columbia restricts one cosmetology solicitation exclusively to SBEs (DOC817200, due March 16, 2026). Insurance requirements are standard across jurisdictions—typically $1 million general liability and workers' compensation. Most contracts run one to five years with renewal options. Pricing is fixed for initial terms on a per-participant, per-hour, or per-course basis; federal prevailing wage applies to Davis-Bacon-covered work. No volume guarantees appear in workforce-board procurements; funding is contingent on appropriations and federal availability.
