UNSPSC 86132209 Educational administration service is a Commodity code encompassing a broad range of staffing, system implementation, and specialized oversight services that state and local education agencies procure to support school operations, student services, and compliance with regulatory mandates. Recent solicitations under this code show school districts and education-focused public bodies purchasing crossing guard services, special education tracking systems, staff development and training programs, virtual and hybrid learning platforms, point-of-sale systems for school retail operations, independent monitoring of discipline reform, food service management, and online program management. The mix of issuing bodies includes independent school districts of varying sizes (Katy ISD, Manor ISD, Buffalo Public Schools, Milpitas Unified School District, KIPP Texas Public Schools, Cobb County School District), state-level juvenile justice departments (Texas Juvenile Justice Department), municipalities (City of Milpitas, City of Orlando), and higher education institutions (University of Texas at Tyler). School districts dominate activity under this code, with districts seeking vendors across human services delivery, technology platform implementation, curriculum and training support, and third-party monitoring or management functions.

Geographic activity spans California, Texas, New York, Georgia, and Florida, with Texas showing particularly dense recent procurement activity. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Milpitas RFP for crossing guard services covering 37 designated school intersections with 26,325 estimated annual school-year hours and an 800-hour summer program, response due April 22, 2026; the Texas Juvenile Justice Department RFP for an online special education tracking system serving 700 to 800 students across five juvenile correctional facilities, due July 2, 2026; Buffalo Public Schools RFP for an independent monitor to oversee student discipline reform implementation, due May 11, 2026; Katy ISD RFP for districtwide staff development and materials spanning 1,440 line items across 74 campuses, due April 24, 2026; and Manor ISD RFP for comprehensive virtual and hybrid learning programs and instructional services, due February 23, 2026.

The City of Orlando RFP for crossing guard services covering approximately 65,160 annual hours across multiple school zones, with pre-proposal meeting in August 2025 and proposals due September 25, 2025, demonstrates sustained demand for crossing guard procurement.
