Direct peers

• North Valley Special Education Unit: ND special education cooperative serving school districts in the northwestern part of the state. Directly comparable to UVSE in target customer, funding model, and service scope (K-12 SPED, related services, transition programs).
• Souris River Special Education Unit: Another North Dakota multi-district special education unit operating under the same state cooperative model. Compares to UVSE because it serves a similar cluster of small rural districts in northwestern North Dakota with the same IDEA-driven service mix and board governance structure.
• Missouri River Education Cooperative: Regional education cooperative in Missouri pooling services for member school districts, including special education and related therapies. Comparable to UVSE because of the shared-services consortium model serving small rural districts.

Broad incumbents

• Soliant Health: National staffing and teletherapy provider placing special education clinicians in K-12 schools. Adjacent peer — sells similar service categories to the same end customers but through a vendor/contract model rather than a consortium.
• EBS Healthcare: Nationwide provider of school-based special education staffing including SLPs, OTs, and school psychologists. Comparable to UVSE because it serves the same customer type (school districts) with the same service types but as an external vendor rather than a cooperative.
• BOCES (Boards of Cooperative Educational Services): New York State network of BOCES that pool special education and shared services across member districts. Conceptually the most mature version of UVSE's model, though much broader in service scope and scale.
• Educational Service Units (Nebraska): Nebraska's statewide ESU system operates as cooperatives delivering special education and related services to school districts. Comparable institutional analog to UVSE's consortium model.
• Regional Education Service Centers (Texas): Texas ESCs serve as regional cooperatives providing special education support and related services to member districts. Conceptual analog to UVSE's model at larger geographic scale.
