UNSPSC 86132216: Educational legislation service

Service involving education law conceived as the portion of the law in a state, country or city that specifically governs educational bodies such as public and private schools and universities. Various education laws cover every aspect of education and school systems. Educational legislation includes the process involved in developing these laws.

UNSPSC 86132216 Educational legislation service is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—educational legislation service—does not match the work actually being solicited under this tag. Recent opportunities classified under this code are overwhelmingly legislative lobbying and advocacy services: state and federal government relations consulting, legislative monitoring, bill tracking, strategic advocacy before legislatures and executive branches, and related policy consulting. One outlier solicitation (Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, City of DeBary, Florida) concerns park infrastructure and bears no relationship to either education or legislation. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code definition that has drifted from practice.

State and local governments soliciting these services include cities (Gainesville, Austin, Bend, Temple, Charlotte, Waco, Garden City), counties (Escambia, Clackamas, Santa Clara), transit and special-purpose districts (Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, Monterey-Salinas Transit District, Houston City College, Maricopa County Community College District, Colorado Community College System), and state agencies (First 5 California). Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Georgia, with solicitations posted between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Gainesville's federal legislative lobbying RFP (due August 6, 2026), the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's state governmental relations consulting ITN (responses due November 6, 2026), the City of Austin's municipal-utility legislative services IFQ (due September 24, 2026), and Clackamas County's state lobbying and consulting RFP (due June 1, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options; compensation structures vary from fixed monthly retainers to hourly rates or time-and-material arrangements. Most require professional licensing, prior government relations experience, and commercial liability insurance; several impose MBE/WBE participation goals or SDVOSB contracting targets.
