UNSPSC 86121504: Public elementary or secondary schools

UNSPSC 86121504 Public elementary or secondary schools is a Commodity code that encompasses educational services, instructional materials, curriculum platforms, and professional development directly supporting K-12 school operations—including specialized instruction, enrichment programming, tutoring, coaching, assessment tools, and technology solutions deployed within district classrooms and campuses. State and local school districts solicit under this code to procure both academic interventions and skill-building services addressing core subjects, English language learners, special populations, career pathways, and teacher effectiveness.

Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa dominates recent activity, issuing four sole-source notices for Carnegie Learning mathematics and Spanish coaching (RFP 25628SSDEST and 26346SSDEST), Techno-Ware English Discoveries ESOL platform (26081SSDEST), and Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship curriculum (26140SSDEST)—all posted October 2026 with response windows spanning January through August 2026. Beyond Tampa, school districts across Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Mississippi, and California are actively procuring tutoring services (Hillsborough's $8 million Title I tutoring vendor bank, Pinellas County's $1 million enrichment program, South Delta's professional development and job-embedded coaching), substitute staffing (Polk County's four-year substitute management contract to Kelly Services), technology-integrated instruction (Texas Education Agency's foundational literacy, supplemental math curriculum, OER review, and Career and Technical Education platforms), and specialized support services (Tacoma's speech pathology and occupational therapy contracts, Columbia County's multi-role staffing RFP). Notice types span RFPs for competitive procurement and sole-source determinations under state purchasing authority; Katy ISD and Austin ISD operate standing-vendor models requiring annual revalidation. Recent procurement shows geographic concentration in Texas (TEA solicitations for statewide CTE, literacy, and OER initiatives) and Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk County), with sustained activity in mid-sized districts across the South and Pacific Northwest pursuing multi-year, multi-vendor awards to establish on-call service banks rather than single-vendor relationships.
