UNSPSC 86141502: Universities cooperation guidance services

UNSPSC 86141502 Universities cooperation guidance services is a Commodity code encompassing student support, academic enrichment, mentorship, professional development, and institutional guidance services that state and local education agencies procure to build capacity in schools and school districts. Recent solicitations show school districts buying academic and social-emotional support services, professional development and curriculum design, special education evaluation and assessment resources, workforce development services, and educational materials aligned to state standards. The issuing bodies span independent school districts (Stockton Unified, Katy ISD, Northside ISD, Dallas ISD, Gallup-McKinley County Schools), state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Illinois State Board of Education, Oregon Department of Education), county and regional entities (Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families, Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board, South Dakota Department of Education), and colleges and universities (Mt. Hood Community College, Texas State University, Wharton County Junior College). Repeat buyers include Katy Independent School District, which has posted multiple recent RFPs for educational interpreting services, diagnostic evaluation materials, and staff development; the Texas Education Agency, which has issued numerous competitive solicitations for curriculum, assessments, marketing, and instructional materials; and Dallas Independent School District, which is procuring leadership consulting, IB professional development, and keynote speaker services.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, with significant recent procurement from the Texas Education Agency, Katy ISD, Dallas ISD, Northside ISD, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, alongside offerings from Illinois (State Board of Education restraint and surrogate parent training), Washington (DCYF adolescent residential and transitional services), Oregon (early literacy provider qualifications, wildfire adaptation survey), South Dakota (adult education and literacy, JAG program implementation), and Kentucky (Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board youth career services). Representative recent opportunities include Stockton Unified School District's RFP 262702 (due August 4, 2026) for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services for at-risk students with DBE/SLBE/SELBE encouragement; Katy Independent School District's RFP #2516YT (due August 13, 2026) for educational diagnosticians and licensed school psychologist services on an hourly rate basis; Muscogee County School District's RFP 26-024 (due August 27, 2026) for career-infused curriculum design for middle grades with revenue-share partnership potential; the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-009 (deadline May 6, 2026, reposted with April 15, 2026 intent-to-bid deadline) for open education resources marketing over five years; and Eugene School District 4J's direct appointment contracts (July 2026, totaling $128,224.25) with Everyday Speech LLC, AspirEDU Inc, and Committee for Children for specialized instructional platforms and social-emotional learning. Set-asides and preferences appear frequently in Texas (HUB subcontracting goals at 5 percent service-disabled veteran-owned business), Illinois (Business Enterprise Program and Commitment to Diversity requirements), Kentucky (MBE, FBE, HBE goals in Louisville Metro), and other jurisdictions, reflecting routine state-level disadvantaged-business procurement frameworks.
