UNSPSC 86132212: Educational data collection service

Service involving the process of gathering and measuring information on targeted educational variables in an established systematic fashion, which then enables one to answer relevant questions and evaluate outcomes. The goal is to capture quality evidence that allows analysis to lead to the formulation of convincing and credible answers to the questions that have been posed.

UNSPSC 86132212 Educational data collection service is a Commodity code that encompasses training, professional development, and program administration services state and local governments procure to support workforce development, leadership capacity-building, career pathways, and specialized skill development across education, criminal justice, health services, and emergency management sectors. The recent solicitation activity shows school districts, state education agencies, county probation departments, transit authorities, health commissions, and municipal departments acquiring curriculum design and delivery, behavioral intervention services, online learning platforms, grant management training, case documentation instruction, and career and technical education support—services distinctly separate from the code's nominal framing as "educational data collection" and suggesting a significant scope mismatch in how the code is being tagged in practice.

The issuing-body mix spans state education and health agencies (Texas Education Agency, Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Education and Workforce), school districts (Katy ISD, Muscogee County School District, Bibb County School District, DeKalb County School District), county probation and social-service departments (San Mateo County Probation, Bernalillo County), city departments and transit authorities (City of Dallas, Tampa Police Department, Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and higher education institutions (Texas Southern University, University of Texas at Dallas, Texas State Technical College). Recent opportunities posted between late May and mid-July 2026 show Texas as the dominant jurisdiction, with secondary activity in California, Georgia, Oregon, and Colorado. Representative recent solicitations include the San Mateo County Probation Department's RFP for Leadership Development Program and Executive Leadership Coaching Services (due May 13, 2026) seeking STC-certified training for approximately 45 supervisory and executive staff with 35 percent weighting toward project approach and trainer qualifications; Katy Independent School District's RFP 2516YT for Educational Diagnosticians and Licensed School Psychologist services (due August 13, 2026) requiring Texas certification and CrossBattery Assessment Software proficiency for special education evaluations and ARD meetings; and the Texas Education Agency's multiple RFPs for supplemental curriculum, literacy intervention tools, career pathways platforms, and evaluation services across 2026–2027. The code shows no recent activity aligned to actual educational data collection; vendors pursuing work under this code should treat posted opportunities as the authoritative scope and flag systematic code-assignment issues with procurement offices.
