UNSPSC 86101803: Vocational rehabilitation services

UNSPSC 86101803 Vocational rehabilitation services (Commodity) encompasses staff development, professional learning, and specialized training programs that state and local governments procure to build workforce capability, support compliance, and address targeted population needs. Recent opportunities show state and local agencies purchasing compliance-focused training (investigation procedures, special education regulations), occupational safety instruction (fall protection, electrical safety, trenching, first aid/CPR), emergency response and incident command training (ICS 300/400, aircraft rescue firefighting), classroom assessment and coaching services, and professional development support across education and workforce development sectors. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Illinois, Michigan, California, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Wisconsin), county governments (Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Hillsborough, Seminole, Orange), cities (Detroit, Phoenix, Orlando, Atlanta), school districts (Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, GMCS, SCUC ISD, Hillsborough County Schools), colleges (Texas Southern University, Texas State Technical College), and special-purpose authorities (Events DC, OUC, ChildCareGroup, Atlanta Beltline Inc.). Los Angeles County Public Works appears as a repeat issuer, posting multiple RFPs for occupational safety training (fall protection, electrical safety, lockout/blockout, trenching, tree trimmer safety, standard first aid/CPR). Many solicitations emphasize trainer credentials, curriculum quality, adult learning methodology, and organizational tenure in the training sector as evaluation priorities.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Los Angeles County, San Mateo County, State of California), Texas (multiple school districts, state agencies), Florida (Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Orange County), Michigan (state department), and Illinois (state department), with additional recent opportunities in Nevada, Wisconsin, Colorado (Denver), and the District of Columbia. Recent representative opportunities include Los Angeles County Public Works' RFP for Respiratory Protection Training and Fit Testing (due July 21, 2026), the Illinois State Board of Education's IFB for Complaint Investigators Training on special education regulations funded through IDEA (due August 10, 2026, estimated $375,000 over three years with SBE set-aside), the City of Detroit's RFQ for FEMA/NIMS ICS 300/400 training to 1,000 firefighters (due May 6, 2026, with Detroit-based business equalization credits), and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' RFP for Public Health Leadership Development across five training topics (due May 20, 2026, multiple-award structure). Events DC's RFQ for First Aid/CPR/AED training for security officers (due July 27, 2026, DSLBD local/small/disadvantaged business set-aside) and Texas State Technical College's RFP for a CDL Fleet Safety System supporting commercial driver training across seven campuses (due June 8, 2026) demonstrate the breadth of training and safety solutions sought. The code shows consistent demand across occupational safety, emergency management, education sector professional development, workforce development, and compliance-driven training in the current market.
