UNSPSC 86132209: Educational administration service

Service involving educational administration which is a discipline within the study of education that examines the administrative theory and practice of education in general and educational institutions and educators in particular activities.

UNSPSC 86132209 Educational administration service is a Commodity code that encompasses staff development, professional learning delivery, and related educational administration services state and local school districts procure to support teacher and administrator training, curriculum design, compliance oversight, and instructional improvement initiatives. School districts actively solicit under this code for districtwide professional development spanning content areas (literacy, math, science, social studies), special populations (English learners, special education, gifted students), and operational competencies (instructional coaching, technology integration, social-emotional learning). Recent solicitations span RFPs for comprehensive staff development with embedded coaching and materials (Katy ISD's RFP #2335AB-E, due October 16, 2026), managed staffing and employer-of-record services for special education (Griffin-Spalding County School System, due October 30, 2026), ESEA compliance monitoring and technical assistance (Oregon Department of Education, due September 30, 2026), and consulting services for instructional framework redesign and educator evaluation systems (Beaverton School District RFI, due September 11, 2026). Issuing bodies include independent school districts of varying sizes, state education agencies, and county school systems; independent monitors for discipline reform compliance also fall within the scope. The code captures both direct service delivery (training, coaching, facilitation) and administrative support services (compliance monitoring, data analysis, workforce management, system implementation).

Activity concentrates in Texas (Katy ISD, Griffin-Spalding County in Georgia, and Beaverton School District in Oregon show recent sustained procurement), with secondary activity in Oregon, Georgia, New York, and other states. Katy ISD in Harris County, Texas has posted multiple iterations of the same RFP (2335AB through 2335AB-E) over several months, suggesting ongoing framework relationships and multiple-award structures. Districts typically weight purchase price between 20–30 percent of evaluation and emphasize vendor experience, service quality, and alignment with district-specific needs; professional development contracts often run one to three years with optional renewals. Insurance requirements commonly include $1 million general liability minimums. The code shows steady demand across districts seeking to strengthen instructional practice, meet federal compliance requirements, and implement systemic educational reforms.
