UNSPSC 86101802: Re training or refreshing training services

UNSPSC 86101802 Re-training or refreshing training services is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of instructor-led workforce training, professional development, and certification renewal across occupational safety, leadership, compliance, and specialized technical domains. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing refresher and initial training in crisis intervention, electrical safety, fall protection, first aid and CPR, respiratory protection, de-escalation techniques, emergency management, and compliance-specific instruction such as special education complaint investigation and equipment operator certification. The scope reflects both routine competency maintenance and introduction of new skill sets to government workforces, with training delivered via in-person, virtual, and hybrid modalities. Issuing bodies include state departments (Illinois State Board of Education, Utah Department of Transportation, Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Michigan DHHS, Texas Department of Public Safety, Oregon Department of Education), counties (Los Angeles County Public Works, San Bernardino County, Orange County, Seminole County, Hillsborough County), cities (Detroit, Phoenix, Orlando, Atlanta), school districts (Dallas ISD, Katy ISD, Texas Southern University, Gallup-McKinley County Schools), special authorities (Events DC, ChildCareGroup, TSTC, OUC), and workforce development agencies (Wisconsin DWD). Los Angeles County Public Works emerges as a repeat buyer, with at least seven active or recent training solicitations spanning occupational safety disciplines.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Los Angeles County dominates with multiple concurrent RFPs for safety training), Texas (multiple school districts, state agencies, and utilities), Michigan (state DHHS and DTMB), and scattered activity across Nevada, Utah, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois State Board of Education's SBE-set-aside IFB for Complaint Investigators Training (due August 10, 2026), procuring virtual and on-demand refresher training for state special education staff on complaint investigation procedures, estimated at $375,000 over three years; the Utah Department of Transportation's IFB for Mobile Crane, Digger Derrick, and rigging operator training and certification (due July 27, 2026), a sole-source intended contract requiring classroom and practical instruction with travel costs embedded; Events DC's DSLBD-restricted RFQ for First Aid, CPR, and AED certification (due July 27, 2026) targeting approximately 60 employees with both in-person and virtual delivery; and Los Angeles County Public Works' RFP for Lockout/Blockout Safety Training and Energy Control Procedure Writer Training (due July 27, 2026), requiring curriculum development and delivery of occupational safety competency instruction. Contract values vary widely—Illinois ranges to $375,000 over three years, Texas de-escalation training was estimated at $125,000 across initial and renewal terms, and multi-year framework agreements with school districts often exceed $2 million annually but are not guaranteed minimums. Set-asides and preferences appear in a subset of solicitations: Illinois uses SBE restrictions, DC applies DSLBD certification requirements, Detroit and San Bernardino offer equalization credits or local-vendor preference points, and Wisconsin DWD weights MBE and DVB proposals. The code shows steady, geographically dispersed procurement activity with a bias toward occupational safety and compliance training, moderate barrier to entry due to instructor credentialing and curriculum development demands, and meaningful repeat-buyer relationships in large counties and state systems.
