UNSPSC 86111502: Distance teaching services

UNSPSC 86111502 Distance teaching services is a Commodity code capturing the delivery of remote, online, and asynchronous educational instruction and support to K-12 and postsecondary student populations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and educational agencies buying academic enrichment, intervention services, career and technical education platforms, professional development delivery, and specialized support services—all increasingly structured around digital or hybrid instructional models. Stockton Unified School District (RFP 26-27-02, due August 4, 2026) seeks academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services including mentorship, leadership development, and enrichment in STEM, art, and music, with proposals evaluated on experience (35%), services and approach (25%), budget (25%), and references (15%). Katy Independent School District has posted multiple service RFPs including educational interpreting services (RFP 2519YT, due August 3, 2026) and staff development (RFP 2335AB-D, due April 24, 2026) covering face-to-face training, webinars, and online coaching. The Texas Education Agency has issued several platform and curriculum procurements tied to distance learning delivery: the Texas Pathways Project (RFP 701-26-025, due July 13, 2026) seeks a SaaS platform for career and technical education to grades 7–12 across up to 25 districts; the Foundational Literacy Intervention Tool (RFP 701-26-003, due June 15, 2026) and Math Supplemental Curriculum (RFP 701-26-002, due June 15, 2026) both require evidence-based digital products available in English and Spanish with hybrid licensing models (50% upon access, 50% upon usage thresholds).

Issuing bodies include a mix of large urban and mid-sized school districts (Stockton, Katy, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County), state departments of education (Texas Education Agency, Oregon Department of Education), higher education institutions (University of Texas at Dallas, Texas State University), workforce and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board), and specialized education providers. Texas dominates the recent activity, with TEA conducting at least eight distinct procurements ranging from instructional materials review to open education resources marketing. Geographically, the code shows concentration in Texas (Houston, Austin, Dallas areas), California (Stockton, San Joaquin County), and Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Brevard Counties), with secondary activity in Kentucky, Oregon, Georgia, Illinois, South Dakota, and New Jersey. The issuing-body mix is fragmented across state departments, large urban and suburban school districts, municipal workforce boards, and postsecondary institutions, with no standout repeat buyer beyond Katy ISD and TEA.
