UNSPSC 86121804: Non technical professional schools

UNSPSC 86121804 Non technical professional schools is a Commodity code that covers academic enrichment, intervention, and support services state and local school districts procure to address student learning gaps, behavioral needs, and post-secondary readiness. Districts are actively soliciting under this code for mentorship and leadership development, credit recovery and remediation, tutoring and academic intervention, career pathway support, special education services, substitute staffing, and enrichment programming — often with explicit focus on serving at-risk, low-income, or specialized student populations. The issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts across multiple states, with some activity from state education agencies and regional education service centers. School districts of varying sizes pursue these contracts, ranging from large urban districts like Stockton Unified and Hillsborough County (Florida) to mid-sized and smaller districts, with particular concentration among Texas districts and school systems in California, Georgia, Arizona, Mississippi, and Illinois. Texas Education Agency, Texas Workforce Commission, and the Oregon Department of Education have each posted multiple opportunities at the state level.

Representative recent solicitations include Stockton Unified School District requesting proposals for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services under RFP 26-27-02 with proposals due August 4, 2026, emphasizing mentorship, enrichment programming in STEM and arts, social-emotional wellness, and college and career planning for students in need; Dysart Unified School District in Arizona issuing an RFP for community enrichment programs covering CTE, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and gifted and special education pathways with proposals due July 30, 2026; and South Delta School District in Mississippi requesting proposals for direct student intervention and academic improvement services in ELA, Mathematics, and Science under RFP 3170036167 with proposals due July 16, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy and Cypress-Fairbanks ISDs in Texas, and multiple other districts across these states have posted solicitations for tutoring, special education services, staff development, and contracted educational services. Evaluation across opportunities emphasizes vendor experience with K-12 populations, understanding of evidence-based instructional practices, capacity to serve multiple school sites or specialized student needs, cost efficiency, and past performance with similar districts — with set-asides and preferences for DBE, SLBE, SELBE, HUB, and SBE designations appearing in a subset of district RFPs.
