UNSPSC 93141510: Social structure studies or related services

UNSPSC 93141510 Social structure studies or related services is a Commodity code describing research, analysis, and planning services that state and local governments procure to develop family services strategies, community programs, and policy frameworks addressing vulnerable populations, family transitions, and social support systems. State and local buyers in this code range from county child welfare departments and state human services agencies to municipal planning departments and regional authorities, with Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services appearing repeatedly as major purchasers of prevention, aftercare, and family preservation program design and implementation services.

Recent solicitations show heavy concentration in family services, child welfare, and kinship support. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services issued RFP #25-0062 in July 2026 seeking Prevention and Aftercare services to vulnerable children and families, with proposals due October 20, 2026, structured around strength-based, family-centered interventions and evidence-based outcomes. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has posted numerous family preservation and family assistance RFPs across multiple counties throughout 2026, including in-home family services, parenting time support, and batterer intervention programs, typically priced on hourly unit rates and ranging from $50,000 to $600,000 over three-year terms. The State of Maine issued RFA #202606110 in July 2026 soliciting programs and services for parents divorcing or separating, with a focus on family stability and child wellbeing during transitions. The City of Moab requested qualifications for a Downtown Master Plan consolidating existing studies and plans, due July 28, 2026, at a fixed price not to exceed $50,000. Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families solicited Adolescent Transitional Living Program services in Region 6 (RFQ, due August 20, 2026) and Credible Messengers Transition and Re-Entry Services for justice-involved youth (RFP #26-DCYF-OJJ-102, due July 28, 2026), both targeting vulnerable youth populations. The South Dakota Department of Social Services posted RFP 19748 for kinship specialist services to locate relatives and provide placement planning for children in state custody, with proposals due April 24, 2026. Geographic activity centers in Michigan (multiple counties across the state), Washington, California (Los Angeles County), Maine, Texas, South Dakota, and Maryland. The code reflects sustained procurement of evidence-based family intervention design, implementation, and coordination work across child welfare, juvenile justice, and community-based social services rather than traditional social research.
