UNSPSC 86131801: Service academies

UNSPSC 86131801 Service academies (Commodity) — state and local governments procure this code not to contract with military service academies but to access specialized education services, professional development, and staffing support for students with disabilities and at-risk populations. Recent opportunities show the code capturing a broad array of education-adjacent services, including speech-language pathology staffing, special education teacher and paraprofessional placement, behavioral management platforms, professional development delivery, school nursing services, therapy services, educational interpreting, sign language interpretation, educational diagnosticians, school psychologists, and alternate assessment administration. The issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes, state education agencies, and county school systems across the United States, with particular concentration among independent school districts in Texas and Florida county public schools. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Katy Independent School District in Texas, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers.

Recent activity is geographically distributed across Florida, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Michigan, Oregon, South Dakota, Nevada, Washington, and Arkansas, with Texas and Florida dominating. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 24127-RFP-DST (posted October 19, 2026, responses due March 23, 2026) seeking speech-language pathologists and speech-language pathology assistants for approximately 100 SLP and 2 SLPA vacancies districtwide, budgeted at approximately $11.6 million annually with up to 26% funded through IDEA grants; Katy Independent School District's RFP #2335AB-E (responses due October 16, 2026) for districtwide staff development and interactive professional development across ten content areas serving PreK-12 teachers; Griffin-Spalding County School System's RFP (responses due October 30, 2026) for a managed service provider to deliver comprehensive special education staffing and employer-of-record services across 18 schools; and the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-027 (responses due November 13, 2026) for open education resources sourcing, custom content development, and continuous improvement services with five-year initial term. Set-asides under these codes are inconsistent but include service-disabled veteran-owned business subcontracting goals in some Texas procurements and voluntary small-business certifications in Florida; background screening, criminal clearance, licensure verification, and E-Verify compliance are standard across all jurisdictions.
