UNSPSC 86141503: Study abroad advisory services

UNSPSC 86141503 Study abroad advisory services, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations tagged with this code. The recent opportunities block contains no study abroad advisory work; instead, the code appears to span educational consulting, program evaluation, training design, and workforce development services across K-12 districts, state education agencies, workforce boards, and special-purpose authorities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured suggests either a systematic mis-tagging problem in the underlying procurement database or a code definition that has drifted from current practice.

Representative recent activity under this code includes the Illinois State Board of Education's July 2026 RFP (Solicitation 27586SBEFINANB53336) for charter school renewal evaluators—a Small Business Enterprise set-aside with quotes due July 22, 2026—and Stockton Unified School District's RFP 26-27-02 (due August 4, 2026) for academic, extracurricular, and emotional support services for students in need, open to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises. Texas Education Agency issued multiple RFIs and RFPs in June 2026 for assessment development, supplemental curriculum, and foundational literacy tools. Issuing bodies include state departments of education (Texas, Illinois, Michigan, Oregon), large school districts (Stockton, Austin ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks), county education and workforce entities, and transit or social-service authorities. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, Illinois, and Michigan, with additional solicitations from South Dakota, Washington, and New York. Because the code shows little alignment with its stated definition, business development professionals should verify the actual scope of work in any RFP before pursuing—the code label alone is not a reliable signal of what is being bought.
