UNSPSC 86111502: Distance teaching services

UNSPSC 86111502 Distance teaching services, a Commodity code, encompasses online and remote educational instruction, professional development delivery, and specialized academic support services that state and local school districts procure to expand instructional capacity, address staffing shortages, and serve at-risk student populations. State and local education agencies—primarily independent school districts, county school systems, and state departments of education—are the primary buyers, with school districts appearing most frequently across recent opportunities. The work spans dropout reengagement programming, speech-language pathology staffing on an as-needed basis, specialized instructor services for water education and STEM enrichment, curriculum design and instructional content development aligned to state standards, and comprehensive professional development in research-based instructional methods, social-emotional learning, special education, and career-technical education. Texas leads significantly in recent activity, with the Texas Education Agency issuing multiple procurements for curriculum content, instructional materials, and professional learning services; Texas school districts including Katy ISD, Galveston ISD, and El Paso County appear repeatedly soliciting staff development, training partnerships, and specialized instructional services. Florida school districts—notably Hillsborough County Public Schools and Pinellas County School District—solicit dropout reengagement services, enrichment programming, and specialized personnel. California, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Washington jurisdictions also show recent activity.
