UNSPSC 80172102: Crisis planning and avoidance service

Public relations services relating to crisis planning and avoidance

UNSPSC 80172102, Crisis planning and avoidance service, is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit mental health crisis intervention, psychological assessment, and behavioral health consulting services for employees, youth, and at-risk populations. Recent activity spans police department pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological evaluations, EMS peer support and crisis counseling, mobile crisis response for school districts, critical incident stress management for corrections and first responders, and therapeutic coaching and mentoring services in detention and community settings. The code captures a mix of clinical assessment (licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, licensed professional counselors), non-clinical coaching and peer support, and organizational consulting around trauma-informed and crisis response frameworks.

State solicitation activity comes from police departments (New Haven, Orlando, Waukesha County Sheriff, Tucson Police), corrections and detention agencies (California CDCR, Mississippi State Hospital, Pinal County Adult Detention Center), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Katy ISD, Tupelo Public Schools, DeKalb County Schools), health and human services departments (Colorado CDPHE, Texas HHSC, Solano County, District of Columbia), workforce development boards (Greater Louisville), and county behavioral health or juvenile justice systems (Cherokee County, Boulder County). Recent opportunities posted across June through July 2026 include New Haven Police Department's RFP for licensed clinical psychologist or clinical social worker psychological testing of police candidates (due August 4, 2026), Waukesha County's solicitation for post-conditional psychological evaluations and fitness-for-duty assessments for Sheriff Department staff (due August 4, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFQ for critical incident psychological services to the Police Department (due May 12, 2026), Colorado CDPHE's RFP for PATH4EMS peer assistance mental health counseling serving EMS providers and families in Denver and Arapahoe County (due August 3, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for mobile crisis response team services with 60-minute response time (due March 25, 2026).
