UNSPSC 86101800: In service training and manpower development

UNSPSC 86101800 In service training and manpower development is a Class code under which state and local governments procure staffing services, professional development delivery, workforce training, and specialized instruction to address capacity gaps and mandate compliance in education, public safety, rehabilitation, and workforce development. Recent solicitations show school districts, workforce development agencies, and state departments buying speech-language pathology services, instructional design and training delivery, commercial driver's license instruction, youth employment programs, vocational rehabilitation services, and continuing professional development across PreK-12 and postsecondary environments.

School districts—particularly Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy ISD in Texas, Pinellas County Schools in Florida, and Stockton Unified in California—are the most active issuing bodies, competing for instructors and training vendors across special education, enrichment, staff development, and support-services categories. State workforce commissions and vocational rehabilitation divisions in Texas and Massachusetts, municipal workforce boards, and special districts (such as Collin County Community College and City Colleges of Chicago) also solicit heavily under this code. Hillsborough County Schools posted RFP 24127-RFP-DST in August 2024 seeking speech-language pathologists and assistants for short and long-term assignments, with an estimated annual budget of $11,641,950 and proposals due March 23, 2026; Katy ISD issued RFP #2335AB-E in October 2026 for districtwide staff development and materials including face-to-face training, webinars, conferences, and coaching across ten content areas, with proposals due October 16, 2026; and Pinellas County Schools posted RFP 25JB082 in September 2026 for STEAM enrichment programs serving approximately 30 private schools, with an estimated contract value of $1,000,000 and proposals due February 16, 2026. The Texas Workforce Commission operates rolling open-enrollment solicitations for vocational rehabilitation services including employment assessments, work readiness training, supported employment, orientation and mobility instruction, diabetes self-management education, and assistive technology services, with applications due between May and November 2026. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging & Independence and Department of Developmental Services conduct Request-for-Response (RFR) procurements for Adult Protective Services workforce training, transition-to-adulthood programming, and capacity-building services, with responses due October and September 2026. Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Georgia, California, Illinois, Maryland, Arkansas, and a dozen additional states, with particularly dense activity in Texas (state workforce commission open enrollments), Florida (school districts), Massachusetts (state health and human services agencies), and California (school districts and county agencies).
