UNSPSC 86132102: Training planning and development consultancy service

Consultancy services related to planning training sessions and materials and facilitating training sessions.

UNSPSC 86132102 Training planning and development consultancy service (Commodity) encompasses staff development and training services that state and local governments procure to build workforce capacity in specialized domains—compliance, safety, emergency response, leadership, literacy instruction, and sector-specific technical skills. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies across state departments, county agencies, school districts, and special-purpose authorities acquiring everything from regulatory complaint investigation training to occupational safety instruction to early literacy coaching. The work ranges from single-engagement train-the-trainer programs that build internal district capacity to multi-year master service agreements establishing approved provider lists for recurring professional development needs. Vendors responding to this code deliver curriculum design, instructor-led training in virtual and in-person formats, participant assessments, and ongoing coaching or technical assistance. Illinois State Board of Education issued an SBE-set-aside IFB (26-586, due August 10, 2026) for complaint investigator training on special education law, estimated at $375,000 over three years, with federal IDEA funding; Events DC issued a restrictive RFQ (25-S-054, due July 27, 2026) for First Aid/CPR/AED training limited to DSLBD-certified small or disadvantaged businesses; and Los Angeles County Public Works has posted multiple RFPs for occupational safety training including respiratory protection, electrical safety, lockout/blockout procedures, and fall protection competencies (response dates spanning May through July 2026).

Activity under this code concentrates in California (Los Angeles County particularly), Illinois, the District of Columbia, Texas, Utah, Michigan, and Florida, with scattered single-opportunity postings across other states including Nevada, New Mexico, and Ohio. The issuing-body mix spans state education and human services departments, county public works and emergency management offices, school districts from small rural systems to large urban districts, and special authorities (transit, utilities, convention centers). State education agencies and county departments of public works are repeat buyers, each posting multiple training solicitations concurrently or sequentially. Geographic spread reflects no single concentration; California and Illinois together account for roughly a third of recent postings, with the remainder distributed across the Southeast, Midwest, Mountain West, and District of Columbia. Procurement structures vary widely: sole-source awards for proprietary curricula (Brainspring Phonics First), competitive RFPs for open-market training services, RFQs with local or disadvantaged-business set-asides, and cooperative purchasing agreements. Contract values disclosed in recent postings range from $30,400 annually (Utah B2B training platform) to $7.5 million over five years (California Film Commission workforce training), with most single-engagement training contracts falling in the $50,000–$300,000 range. No hard trend toward expansion or contraction is evident; the code remains active across multiple sectors and jurisdictions, with steady demand for compliance training, safety instruction, and instructional coaching reflecting ongoing workforce development spending.
