UNSPSC 93141514: Socio cultural services

UNSPSC 93141514 Socio-cultural services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments buy family preservation, youth transition, and community support interventions delivered by nonprofits and specialized service providers. Recent solicitations reflect active procurement across child welfare, family strengthening, parenting support, and transition-age youth programming—short-term, evidence-based interventions designed to prevent out-of-home placement, support family reunification, and strengthen parental capacity. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services is the standout repeat buyer under this code, issuing at least five separate RFPs in the recent window: Partnerships for Families services (RFP #25-0047, due December 18, 2026), Caregiver and Youth Support Services (RFP #26-0065, due December 28, 2026), Family Time Centers and Safe Child Custody Exchange (RFP #26-0044, due October 23, 2026), Incarcerated Parents Services Program (WOS #26-0023, due September 25, 2026), and Prevention and Aftercare (RFP #25-0062, due October 20, 2026). State departments of health and human services in Michigan and Washington also solicit extensively under the code for in-home family preservation, family assistance, and transitional living programs delivered at the county level. Counties and cities less frequently issue standalone RFPs; when they do, scope typically targets specialized populations or geographic service areas. School districts and transit authorities do not appear in the recent activity.

Geographic spread centers on California (Los Angeles County dominance), Michigan (multiple family preservation and family assistance contracts across regional counties), and Washington (adolescent transitional living and health care consulting). Secondary activity appears in Florida, New Mexico, Maine, Colorado, and Kansas. Representative recent solicitations include Los Angeles County DCFS's Partnerships for Families RFP seeking ten contracts (one per Service Planning Area plus two countywide contracts for Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian and Alaskan Native communities), with proposals due December 18, 2026; the City of Santa Monica's Human Services Grants Program RFP for four-year grant agreements addressing identified community needs, proposals due December 14, 2026; Michigan DHHS's Family Assistance Program RFP for Alcona-Iosco Counties (RFP 26-2694, due October 26, 2026) covering administration and delivery of family assistance services including client eligibility, benefit administration, case management, and coordination with state and local resources; and the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families' Adolescent Transitional Living Program solicitation for Region 6 (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) seeking residential care and supervision for five male-identifying youth ages 16 to 21, with responses due August 20, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference on July 16, 2026. Small-purchase quotations such as Los Alamos County's Operating Food Pantry Services RFQ (due October 21, 2026) and grants-based programs in Maine and Santa Monica reflect the code's breadth across service-delivery models and budget tiers.
