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 that state and local governments use to procure behavioral health crisis intervention, stabilization, and prevention services—including crisis residential facilities, interim housing with mental health support, psychological and psychiatric evaluation and screening services, multisystemic therapy for at-risk youth, and wellness programs for public safety personnel. Recent solicitations show school districts, counties, cities, state mental health agencies, and public safety departments as primary buyers. The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida posted a sole-source notice in October 2026 for the Insights to Behavior behavior management system, a web-based platform designed to support behavior intervention planning and compliance documentation for at-risk students—demonstrating how school districts are purchasing integrated crisis prevention tools. Trinity County, California and Solano County, California have each solicited proposals for behavioral health interim housing placements serving adults and older adults with serious mental illness and substance use disorders experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with Trinity County's RFP (due October 19, 2026) targeting capacity for up to 50 beds and Solano County's (due July 8, 2026) combining short-term drop-in shelter and longer-term interim housing. Clarke County School District in Georgia issued an RFP on September 30, 2026 for student mental and behavioral health services (due October 27, 2026), and Chatham County, Georgia solicited pre-employment psychological evaluations for law enforcement and emergency communications applicants (due October 29, 2026). Fairfax County, Virginia posted dual RFPs in September 2026 for psychological evaluation and testing services serving police, fire, and sheriff's office applicants and incumbents.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Trinity, Solano, and Santa Clara counties), Georgia (Chatham, Clarke, and Augusta-Richmond counties), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (Katy ISD, Birdville ISD, El Paso, Harris County), Illinois (DHS medical director positions across multiple mental health centers and rehabilitation facilities), and Arizona (Tucson and Phoenix). The Illinois Department of Human Services has posted multiple rebid solicitations for Medical Director positions at psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation centers throughout 2026, including positions at Chester Mental Health Center, Choate Center, and ICRE-Roosevelt, with bids typically due within two to four weeks of posting. The code shows sustained activity across school-based mental health services, first-responder psychological screening and wellness programs, crisis residential and interim housing delivery, and state institutional psychiatry staffing. Counties and cities are increasingly bundling crisis services with housing and wrap-around support; several solicitations (Trinity County, Solano County, Santa Clara County MST services, and Madison Metropolitan School District behavioral health therapists) emphasize integrated, evidence-based, trauma-informed service delivery models. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments of mental health and human services, county behavioral health and social services agencies, school districts, cities, and special-purpose public safety pension boards, with no single repeat buyer dominating the code but consistent demand across multiple jurisdictions.
