UNSPSC 86111603: Parent education

UNSPSC 86111603 Parent education is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code primarily academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services for students, including parent education and engagement components integrated within broader student support offerings. Recent solicitations show school districts buying mentorship, leadership development, enrichment programming in arts and music, academic intervention, social-emotional wellness support, restorative justice training, and college planning assistance—all commonly paired with explicit parent education deliverables. The code captures vendor-delivered services addressing instructional barriers, cultural responsiveness, and family involvement in student success across K-12 environments.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Stockton Unified School District (California), Katy Independent School District (Texas), and Salt Lake City School District (Utah) appearing as recent buyers. The code shows modest activity across scattered geographies, concentrated in California and Texas. Stockton Unified issued RFP 26-27-02 on July 15, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services—a comprehensive solicitation explicitly naming parent education within a menu of student-support deliverables; the district encouraged proposals from DBE, SLBE, and SELBE vendors. Salt Lake City School District published a sole-source notice (WK2702UTPCSS, posted July 8, 2026, deadline July 16, 2026) for parent support services through the Utah Parent Center within Special Education, estimated at $42,294 annually, demonstrating that parent education services are sometimes acquired as standalone, legislatively-mandated contracts. Beyond these anchors, the recent-opportunities block shows limited procurement volume under this code specifically; most competing activity uses adjacent UNSPSC codes for special education evaluation, educational diagnostics, substitute teachers, and staff development—suggesting parent education is often bundled into broader student-support or special-education contracts rather than procured as a discrete line item.
