UNSPSC 86132000: Management education and training services

Educational and training services intended to improve management capabilities and effectiveness for executives, managers and other leadership positions in public and private sector organizations of all kinds.

UNSPSC 86132000 Management education and training services is a Class code that covers professional development, workforce training, and instructional delivery services—ranging from K-12 teacher instruction in literacy and content methods to occupational safety, emergency response, and career/technical education programs. State and local governments procure training design, curriculum delivery, instructor certification, learning management systems, and related materials across school districts, public health agencies, workforce development programs, transportation authorities, corrections departments, and county offices.

School districts dominate the recent opportunities, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Katy Independent School District (Texas), and Northside Independent School District (Texas) issuing multiple solicitations for districtwide professional development. Other issuing bodies span state vocational rehabilitation and workforce agencies, county public works departments, municipal utilities, transportation authorities, and corrections systems. The geographic spread reflects activity in Texas (multiple school districts, TDCJ reentry services), Florida (HCPS, DJJ career-technical education, FDOT commercial driver training, OUC safety/industrial hygiene), California (oil spill response training), Massachusetts (MBTA construction cost estimating, MEMA incident management), and scattered activity in Maryland, Connecticut, Illinois, and other states. Recent representative opportunities include Katy ISD's RFP for districtwide staff development and materials across literacy, math, English learners, special education, and instructional technology (due October 16, 2026); Los Angeles County Public Works' multiple training RFPs for forklift operation, signal person/rigging, fall protection, respiratory protection, and OSHA construction safety (deadlines July–August 2026); the Florida Department of Transportation's statewide CDL training and testing services (due September 21, 2026); and the Orlando Utilities Commission's RFP for occupational safety, industrial hygiene, and radiation compliance training (due May 27, 2026). The Illinois State Board of Education is procuring special education complaint investigator training as an SBE set-aside through June 2029 (due August 10, 2026). Training is typically delivered through mixed modalities—face-to-face, online webinars, coaching, and consultation—with vendor-supplied materials and instructor credentials in relevant domains (literacy methodology, HAZMAT, emergency medicine, occupational safety standards, or sector-specific competencies). Pricing structures vary from per-class fees and hourly rates to annual contracts with fixed fees or tiered enrollment models, with contract terms commonly running one to three years with optional renewals.
