UNSPSC 93141500: Social development and services

UNSPSC 93141500 Social development and services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure family-centered interventions, youth transition programming, child welfare support services, and community-based social support across multiple service modalities. Recent solicitations show Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Services, Orange County Social Services Agency, Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families, and city and county human services departments actively procuring contracted services in this space. The issuing bodies span state human services agencies, county child welfare and behavioral health departments, and municipal social services offices, with Los Angeles County and Michigan DHHS appearing repeatedly as high-volume repeat buyers. Work currently being solicited includes family preservation and in-home support services, supervised visitation and custody exchange facilitation, transition skills programming for aging-out youth, services for commercially sexually exploited children, caregiver support programs, batterer intervention, parenting time facilitation, and evidence-based family strengthening and prevention programming. A representative recent opportunity is the County of Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services RFP #25-0047 (Partnerships for Families Services), due December 18, 2026, which will award ten contracts for short-term, family-centered interventions designed to reduce child abuse and neglect risk factors, with one contract per Service Planning Area and two countywide contracts designated to serve Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian and Alaskan Native communities. Another is the City of Santa Monica Human Services Grants Program (HSGP) RFP 2027-31, due December 14, 2026, soliciting four-year grant agreements from eligible nonprofits addressing identified community needs, with annual funding contingent upon council approval and program performance.

Geographic concentration includes California (particularly Los Angeles and Orange counties) and Michigan (particularly rural multi-county service areas), with additional recent activity in Washington State, Utah, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and other jurisdictions. The code shows consistent activity across multiple geographic regions rather than concentration in a single state. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body—California solicitations often reference Orange County Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preferences; Michigan RFPs evaluate Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business status and economic impact to Michigan; Washington and other states apply small-business, veteran-owned business, and women-owned business preferences. Contracts range from $50,000 annually for smaller county family assistance programs to $3.4 million over three years for larger child abuse medical services (Orange County RFP 0633051102-AH, originally due August 7, 2026, estimated at $1,105,900 for year one, $1,136,500 year two, and $1,170,500 year three). Evaluation commonly emphasizes technical qualifications, delivery capability, service capability and organizational understanding (often weighted 40+ points), past performance, and cost, with many procurements requiring 100 or more technical points to advance to price evaluation. Insurance requirements are standard across most procurements, typically $1 million commercial general liability and automobile liability, with professional liability and sexual abuse coverage mandated for child-serving organizations.
