UNSPSC 86141700: Educational technology

UNSPSC 86141700 Educational technology is a Class code encompassing specialized instructional software platforms, professional development delivery systems, and therapeutic and diagnostic assessment tools that state and local governments procure to support teaching, learning, and student support services. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing behavior-management systems integrating compliance and staff training; online literacy intervention platforms aligned to the Science of Reading; speech-language pathology staffing and related services; special education diagnostic and assessment systems; and educational content licensing—reflecting a mix of technology infrastructure, contracted personnel services, and curriculum materials grouped under this code's taxonomy.

School districts (independent, county, and regional systems) dominate recent activity, with recurring buyers including Hillsborough County Public Schools and Katy Independent School District in Texas, supplemented by state education agencies (Texas Education Agency, South Dakota Department of Education), specialized state schools (Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind), and a juvenile correctional authority (Texas Juvenile Justice Department). Issuing bodies span Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, Mississippi, Connecticut, South Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP 24127 seeking speech-language pathologists and assistants on an as-needed basis for approximately 100 SLP vacancies, with proposals due March 23, 2026 at $11.64 million estimated annual budget; Katy ISD's RFP 2335AB-E for districtwide staff development and materials (PreK-12 across ten focus areas including literacy, math, ESL, special education, and instructional technology), due October 16, 2026; and the Texas Education Agency's RFP 701-26-027 for PreK-12 Open Education Resources sourcing, custom materials development, and continuous improvement services, due November 13, 2026. The code also captures single-source procurements for proprietary educational software such as BrainPOP and Newsela content licensing by specialized school districts, as well as state-level requests for alternate assessment development platforms and online special education tracking systems serving juvenile facilities and districts statewide.
