UNSPSC 86101807: Management sector manpower development

UNSPSC 86101807 Management sector manpower development (Commodity) covers professional development, workforce training, and instructional delivery that state and local governments procure to build employee and participant skills across departments, schools, and operational agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts, utilities, county departments, and specialized service agencies buying training in safety compliance, pedagogical methods, specialized competencies, and sector-specific job readiness—delivered through face-to-face instruction, online webinars, coaching, and hybrid formats with accompanying instructional materials and assessments.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Katy Independent School District, Northside ISD), county departments (Los Angeles County Public Works, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, San Bernardino County), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois State Board of Education, Oregon Department of Education, Texas State Library and Archives Commission, State of California), utilities (Orlando Utilities Commission), and special-purpose entities (Atlanta Beltline Inc., Events DC, Martin Luther King Corridor Improvement Authority). Los Angeles County Public Works appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFPs for occupational safety training (fall protection, respiratory protection, OSHA, electrical safety, equipment operation) in recent months. School districts drive activity in professional development for teachers across literacy, math, science, ESL, special education, and instructional technology—Katy ISD has issued multiple iterations of districtwide staff development RFPs. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' sole-source procurement for Brainspring Phonics First professional development and materials under ITQ 26105SSDEST (response deadline March 17, 2026), Katy ISD's RFP #2335AB-E for districtwide staff development and materials due October 16, 2026 (RFP, face-to-face and online delivery across ten focus areas), Los Angeles County Public Works' series of safety training RFPs (fall protection, OSHA construction, aerial devices, overhead crane, signal person/rigging, electrical safety, respiratory protection, lockout/blockout—all with August deadlines in 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017224 for Advanced Forensics Investigations training for Adult Protective Services caseworkers with response due September 3, 2026. Activity concentrates in California, Texas, and Florida, with secondary presence in Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, and the District of Columbia. Pricing ranges from $20,000 estimated value (Hillsborough County human trafficking awareness training, ITQ 26-00371) to $125,000 over the initial contract term (Texas State Library de-escalation training, RFP 306-26-0151) to estimated contract values exceeding $200,000 (County of San Mateo employee wellness portal, RFP 2026-RFP-00482). Set-asides include small business enterprise (Illinois IFB 26-586SBE-CHFED-B-53245 for complaint investigator training), HUB requirements (Texas HHS), DBE/MBE designations where disclosed, and local-vendor preferences (San Bernardino County OES, 5 percent local preference). Cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-year renewal options are common (typically one to four annual renewal periods at agency option).
