UNSPSC 93141506: Social welfare services

UNSPSC 93141506 Social welfare services is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of targeted family support, child protection, youth transition, and vulnerable-population services delivered through nonprofit and for-profit contractors. State and local governments are currently buying short-term family-centered interventions designed to prevent child abuse and neglect; foster care and transitional housing services for children and youth in out-of-home care; independent living skills training for transition-age foster youth; counseling and parent education for at-risk families; caregiver support services; financial counseling; and specialized services for incarcerated parents, domestic-violence survivors, and transition-age youth. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county departments of children and family services (Los Angeles, Orange, Macomb, Kalamazoo, Ottawa, Livingston, and others), state departments of health and human services (Michigan, Washington, Florida, Maine), cities (Santa Monica, Wichita, Louisville), and transit authorities; Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and Orange County Social Services Agency are repeat buyers posting multiple opportunities within recent months. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Los Angeles and Orange counties particularly active), Michigan (especially family assistance programs across rural two-county clusters), and select Washington, Florida, and other state locations.

Representative recent opportunities include the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services RFP #25-0047 for Partnerships for Families services (due December 18, 2026), which will award ten contracts for short-term, evidence-based family interventions across eight service planning areas and two culturally designated countywide contracts; Orange County Social Services Agency RFP for Independent Living Program Services (proposals due September 28, 2026) offering $7.649 million over three years for case management, life skills, employment support, and housing assistance to transition-age foster youth ages 16–25; and the City of Santa Monica Human Services Grants Program RFP #26-0044 (due December 14, 2026) soliciting four-year competitive grants from nonprofit organizations for community-identified human services with annual funding contingent on performance and City Council approval. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is a high-volume buyer posting overlapping family preservation, family assistance, and batterer intervention RFPs across multiple two-county regions, typically valued at $50,000 to $300,000 per three-year term. Orange County has posted at least five separate RFPs or RFAs since August 2026 for child abuse medical services, counseling and parent education, employment services for CalWORKs participants, foster family agency resource homes, and transitional residential homes, indicating sustained procurement demand for specialized family services delivery capacity. Set-asides include 5 percent local small business preferences in Orange County and 10 percent small-business evaluation weighting in select Wichita and Washington state procurements.
