UNSPSC 86111601: Evening courses

UNSPSC 86111601 Evening courses is a Commodity code capturing contract opportunities for after-hours instructional programs, dropout reengagement services, and extended-learning enrichment delivered to K-12 students, school district personnel, and community members outside standard school hours. State and local governments—primarily school districts but also county education agencies, cities, and specialized service providers—solicit this category to address remediation, skill-building, workforce readiness, and student reengagement when daytime capacity or traditional programming cannot meet demand. The work spans academic intervention, professional development for teachers, arts and career-technical education, social-emotional support, and specialized services such as speech-language pathology staffing and testing platforms supporting evening and extended-day delivery.

Recent activity shows school districts across Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Oregon, and Illinois as the dominant issuing bodies. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida posted three opportunities in October 2026 alone: a sole-source Notice of Intent for dropout reengagement services through Acceleration Academies (Solicitation 26037SSDDST, due January 29, 2026), an RFP for speech-language pathology services on an as-needed basis (RFP 24127-RFP-DST, due March 23, 2026, budgeted at approximately $11.6 million annually), and a sole-source Intent for Curriculum Associates' ELLevation platform for English Language Learner tracking (Solicitation 26240SSDEST, due June 11, 2026).

The Texas Education Agency solicited proposals for PreK-12 Open Education Resources projects including curriculum sourcing and custom development (RFP 701-26-027, due November 13, 2026) and special education complaint investigation support (RFP 701-26-022, due July 24, 2026). Stockton Unified School District in California pursued academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services for at-risk students (RFP 26-27-02, due August 4, 2026). The geographic concentration spans Texas (multiple RFPs from TEA, Katy ISD, Galveston ISD, and El Paso County), Florida (Hillsborough County and Pinellas County school districts), and Georgia (Muscogee County, Griffin-Spalding County, and Gwinnett County districts), with secondary activity in California, Oregon, Washington, and Illinois. Pricing under the code varies widely—from modest direct-service contracts under $50,000 to annual agreements exceeding $11 million for staffing or platform licensing. Most opportunities are issued as RFPs or Notices of Intent with response windows of 30–90 days and typically include insurance, background-check, and compliance requirements aligned with state education law.
