UNSPSC 86132215: Educational policy service

Service involving the principles and government policy-making in the educational sphere, as well as the collection of laws and rules that govern the operation of education systems.

UNSPSC 86132215 Educational policy service is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of consulting services supporting policy development, program evaluation, and institutional compliance across K-12 education, higher education, and workforce systems. State and local governments buy consulting and advisory work under this code to conduct needs assessments, develop impact fee studies, design and implement performance-based compensation systems, evaluate charter school renewal applications, conduct program feasibility analysis, and provide technical assistance on policy implementation. Recent solicitations show a mix of school districts, state education agencies, county governments, and municipal authorities as buyers, with no single dominant repeat issuer but consistent activity across independent school districts and state departments of education.

Activity under this code spans multiple states and jurisdictions. Henry County, Georgia issued RFP 27-02 in July 2026 for impact fee study consulting services (due August 12, 2026), encompassing methodology development, facility inventory, impact cost calculations, and fee ordinance drafting for parks, public safety, and transportation. The Illinois State Board of Education posted an SBE-restricted procurement in July 2026 for charter school renewal evaluators to assess Intrinsic 2 Charter High School (due July 22, 2026), requiring independent written analysis and renewal recommendations by October 31, 2026. Stockton Unified School District issued RFP 26-27-02 in July 2026 for academic and emotional support services consulting (due August 4, 2026), targeting mentorship, enrichment programming, and social-emotional wellness for 34,000 students across 55 schools. Austin Independent School District solicited proposals in July 2026 for Teacher Incentive Allotment technical assistance and strategic guidance (due July 28, 2026), requiring demonstrated experience with performance-based educator compensation system design and implementation. The Texas Education Agency issued an RFI in June 2026 for assessment development services supporting the Teacher Incentive Allotment program (due July 16, 2026), seeking vendor capabilities for summative assessment methodology and reporting across multiple districts and statewide implementations. Geographic concentration is moderate across California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington, with Texas and California school districts showing particular frequency in recent months.
