UNSPSC 86132213: Educational management service

Service involving educational management, also sometimes known as educational administration, is commonly associated with elementary and secondary schools as well as institutes of higher learning like colleges and universities. Educational management professionals can also be found working in governmental agencies, private companies, and not-for-profit organizations. Those working in educational management might act as policy-makers, researchers, or consultants to help evaluate and develop ways to enrich and enhance the educational system at all levels.

UNSPSC 86132213 Educational management service is a Commodity code covering staff development, special education tracking systems, and crossing guard services—the operational and instructional support functions that school districts and state juvenile justice agencies actually procure. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span crossing guard deployment (City of Milpitas RFP for 36 trained personnel across nine schools; City of Orlando RFP for approximately 65,160 annual hours), special education program management systems (Texas Juvenile Justice Department RFP for online tracking serving 700–800 students across five correctional facilities), and professional development at district scale (Katy Independent School District RFP for research-based training across 74 campuses with 1,440 line items covering instructional content areas, special education, and English learners support; Manor Independent School District RFP for virtual and hybrid learning programs with Texas educator certification requirements). Issuing bodies include independent school districts of varying size and charter networks, county school systems, and state correction agencies. The code also captures property analysis and facility consolidation consulting (Buffalo City School District RFP for consolidation recommendations across 72 facilities serving 30,000 students) and point-of-sale systems for school retail operations (Cobb County School District RFI for inventory-integrated POS platforms).
