UNSPSC 80172101: Crisis management and recovery service

Public relations services relating to crisis management and recovery

UNSPSC 80172101 Crisis management and recovery service is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of mental health crisis intervention, trauma-responsive counseling, and behavioral health support services delivered to public employees, first responders, students, justice-involved populations, and vulnerable adults. The code spans psychological evaluations for law enforcement and public safety pre-employment screening, post-critical-incident stress debriefing and crisis counseling for correctional and emergency services personnel, peer assistance programs for EMS providers, therapeutic services for at-risk youth in juvenile justice and school settings, and interim emergency shelter and housing with integrated mental health services for individuals experiencing homelessness or mental health crises. Issuing bodies include state departments (Colorado CDPHE, Texas HHSC, South Dakota Department of Education, Mississippi State Hospital, Illinois DHS, Washington DCYF, District of Columbia), counties (Solano, San Mateo, Waukesha, Cuyahoga, Pinal, Cherokee, DeKalb, Greenville), cities (New Haven, Orlando, Phoenix, Tucson), school districts and transit authorities (Katy ISD, Tupelo Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, City Colleges of Chicago), and workforce boards (Greater Louisville). The code attracts repeat solicitation from law enforcement agencies nationwide seeking pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological evaluations, and from behavioral health and human services departments purchasing crisis intervention teams, peer support programs, and trauma-informed counseling for system-involved populations.

Recent activity spans mental health consultation for early childhood education (City Colleges of Chicago, RFP NC2616, proposals due August 7, 2026), psychological testing for police candidates (City of New Haven, RFP 2026RFPCNH381, proposals due August 4, 2026), critical incident stress services for correctional staff (California CDCR, IFB C5613110-D, proposals due June 3, 2026 and rebid April 17, 2026), multisystemic therapy for juvenile justice (Cherokee County Georgia, RFP 2026-012, proposals due May 12, 2026), behavioral health interim housing for homeless adults with serious mental illness (Solano County, RFP 952060526, proposals due July 8, 2026), mobile response teams for school mental health crises (Hillsborough County Public Schools, RFP 26061RFPDST, proposals due March 25, 2026), and counseling for state-supported living centers serving individuals with developmental disabilities (Texas HHSC HHS0017465 and HHS0017549, proposals due July 6 and July 21, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Texas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, and the Northeast; procurement is active across state departments, counties, cities, and school districts with no dominant buyer pattern. The code shows sustained demand for clinical licensure-based services (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, licensed psychologist, board-certified psychiatrist) and specialized certifications (BCBA, CISD, POST accreditation), with many solicitations restricting response to qualified mental health professionals and offering contracts ranging from $34,999 to $4 million over one to five years.
