UNSPSC 86121503: Private elementary or secondary schools

UNSPSC 86121503 Private elementary or secondary schools is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of contracted educational services, curriculum, coaching, and professional development delivered to or through K-12 schools. Recent solicitations show districts buying stands-alone instructional platforms (Carnegie Learning math and Spanish curricula, Techno-Ware English Discoveries for adult ESOL), entrepreneurship and career pathway programs (Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship), tutoring and academic intervention services, enrichment programming in arts and STEAM, staffing for substitute teachers and support roles, and specialized services including interpreting, speech-language pathology, occupational and physical therapy, and counseling. The buying mix spans school districts of all sizes, from large urban systems to small rural districts, alongside community colleges, education service centers, and municipal water districts delivering water education. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida appears most prominently in recent activity, posting four sole-source notices for vendor-specific curriculum and coaching between October and August 2026 (Carnegie Learning for mathematics and Spanish coaching and content, Techno-Ware for English Discoveries ESOL platform, and Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship for career pathways curricula). Other active buyers include Katy Independent School District (Texas), Pinellas County Schools (Florida), Stockton Unified School District (California), Texas Education Agency, and Tacoma Public Schools (Washington).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and California, with secondary momentum in Washington, Oregon, Georgia, Mississippi, Arizona, and Illinois. Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' sole-source procurement for Carnegie Learning MATH onsite and virtual coaching at Potter Elementary and Memorial Middle (single/sole-source notice, January 22, 2026 protest deadline); Pinellas County School District's RFP for STEAM enrichment services to private schools participating in Title I programs, with proposals due February 16, 2026 and estimated contract value near $1 million over two years; Hillsborough's RFP for tutoring services to establish a vendor bank across Title I schools, proposals due April 30, 2026 with an estimated annual budget of $8 million (70 percent Title I federal funds, 10 percent UniSIG, 20 percent non-federal); and Stockton Unified School District's RFP for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services with encouragement for DBE, SLBE, and SELBE participation, proposals due August 4, 2026. Texas Education Agency solicitations for open educational resources, supplemental math curriculum, foundational literacy intervention tools, and the Texas Pathways CTE digital platform reflect state-level volume; TEA procurements carry HUB subcontracting plans with 5 percent service-disabled veteran-owned business participation goals. No single opportunity dominates; activity is distributed across curriculum licensing, staffing and labor services, professional development, specialized services for special education populations, and platform/technology solutions, often with multiple-award structures and cooperative purchasing frameworks available through education service centers and regional consortia.
