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, a Commodity code, encompasses professional legislative lobbying, government affairs consulting, and state and federal advocacy services that state and local governments procure to monitor legislation, conduct strategic advocacy, and represent public-sector interests before legislatures and executive agencies. The code captures legislative monitoring and bill tracking, relationship-building with legislators and agency officials, development of legislative strategies and advocacy materials, testimony preparation and coordination, grant identification, and regular strategic reporting—services cities, counties, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts routinely retain to navigate complex state and federal policy environments affecting municipal operations, infrastructure, financing, and regulatory compliance.

State and local issuing bodies across the country are actively soliciting under this code. Cities dominate the recent activity—the City of Gainesville, the City of Charlotte (separately for state and federal representation and the Metropolitan Public Transportation Authority), the City of Waco (Texas), the City of Garden City (Georgia), and the City of Austin have all posted RFPs and RFQs since February 2026. County governments and special-purpose districts follow: Walton County, Florida (federal lobbying services); Clackamas County, Oregon (state lobbying); Escambia County, Florida (state and federal); and Central Health (Travis County hospital district, Texas). Transit authorities have entered the market—Monterey-Salinas Transit District (California) posted RFP 26-07 on June 1, 2026, with proposals due July 14, for state legislative advocacy services. State agencies and quasi-state bodies round out the mix: First 5 California (state and federal advocacy services); the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners; the Nevada Physical Therapy Board; and Houston City College. The most recent and highest-volume activity concentrates in Texas (Austin, Waco, Central Health), California (First 5, Monterey-Salinas), Florida (Gainesville, Escambia, Walton), and Nevada (two licensing boards). The City of Gainesville's RFP CMGR260055WB (due August 6, 2026) typifies the federal-focused work—ten years' minimum experience, current Florida lobbying registration, $500 per day Washington, D.C. travel cap, and monthly retainer billing. The City of Charlotte's paired solicitations (both due July 31, 2026) separate state and federal representation, with federal work requiring a D.C.-area office. First 5 California's RFPs CFF 7792, 7794, and 7795 (ranging from $300,000 to $1,000,000 over three years) illustrate the upper-budget, mission-aligned federal and state advocacy market. Clackamas County's RFP 2026-31 (due June 1, 2026) and multiple Nevada board procurements highlight the state-level legislative consulting standard. Response dates cluster in June through August 2026, with contract starts typically in summer or fall 2026.
