UNSPSC 93141500: Social development and services

UNSPSC 93141500 Social development and services is a Class code that encompasses grants, contracts, and service delivery for vulnerable populations—family preservation, child welfare, homeless services, diversion programs, and specialized support for at-risk individuals and families. State and local governments procure under this code to deliver evidence-based interventions, prevention and aftercare services, parent education, counseling, and residential or community-based care designed to strengthen families, reduce maltreatment, support reunification, and prevent system involvement or recurrence.

State health and human services departments drive the bulk of recent activity, followed by county child protective services, city social services offices, school districts, and specialized local authorities. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services appears as a dominant repeat buyer, issuing dozens of RFPs for family preservation in-home services, parenting time support, family assistance, and batterer intervention across multiple counties since early 2026—contracts ranging from $50,000 to $600,000 over three-year terms with optional renewals. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families, Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Rhode Island Executive Office of Housing, and Massachusetts Department of Youth Services also show active procurement. Recent opportunities span family preservation in-home services (Michigan, Alpena-Montmorency, Livingston, Washtenaw, Wayne, and Ingham Counties); Prevention and Aftercare services for vulnerable children and families (Los Angeles County, RFP due October 20, 2026); Adolescent Transitional Living Programs (Washington State Region 6, RFQ due August 20, 2026); parent education and support for divorcing or separated families (Maine, RFA due July 30, 2026); child abuse medical services (Orange County, California, RFP due August 7, 2026, $3.412 million over three years); diversion coordination for justice-involved youth (Massachusetts Bristol County, RFR due June 30, 2026, $138,320 annual budget); residential treatment for serious emotional or behavioral disorders (Utah, RFP due July 29, 2026); and financial counseling (Louisville Metro Office of Social Services, RFP due July 15, 2026).
