UNSPSC 86121602: Technical institutes

UNSPSC 86121602 Technical institutes, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement activity centered on academic support services, professional development, enrichment programming, and specialized instructional delivery rather than the establishment or operation of trade or technical schools. School districts, counties, and education agencies use this code to solicit providers of targeted student intervention, tutoring, literacy coaching, career and technical education platforms, and supplemental curriculum aligned to state standards.

Issuing bodies span independent school districts in Texas (Stockton Unified, Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks, Austin ISD, Eanes ISD, Elgin ISD, Northside ISD, Bibb County in Georgia), regional education service centers, state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Illinois State Board of Education, Oregon Department of Education, Texas Workforce Commission), and specialized districts including community colleges and municipal water districts offering public education programs. Recent activity shows school districts dominating the procurement volume, with Texas and Georgia jurisdictions particularly active. Geographic spread includes California (Stockton), Texas (multiple districts statewide), Georgia (Bibb County, Dougherty County, Columbia County, Glynn County, Effingham County), Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Tacoma), Mississippi, Oregon, Illinois, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include Stockton Unified School District's RFP 26-27-02 for Academic, Extracurricular, and Emotional Support Services (due August 4, 2026), requesting mentorship, leadership development, enrichment programming in arts and music, STEM academic enrichment, and social-emotional wellness support with DBE/SLBE/SELBE encouragement; Dysart Unified School District's community enrichment program RFP (due July 30, 2026), soliciting enrichment courses supporting career and technical education, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate pathways; Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-002 for Math Supplemental Curriculum (due June 15, 2026), seeking evidence-based supplemental online mathematics aligned to TEKS in English and Spanish; and South Delta School District's RFP 3170036167 for direct student intervention and academic improvement services across three grade spans (due July 16, 2026), requiring evidence-based interventions in ELA, Mathematics, and Science at three campuses with federal funding compliance. Contract values range from under $100,000 to over $8 million annually (Hillsborough County tutoring services), with most awards structured as one-year initial terms with multiple renewal options. Set-asides and preferences appear inconsistently—some solicitations emphasize HUB, SBE, MBE, WBE, DBE participation; others contain no designated preferences. Activity remains robust through mid-2026 with strong demand for evidence-based interventions, professional development, and platform-based learning solutions.
