UNSPSC 85101602: Midwifery or child birth preparation services

In this classification, this class indicates personnel providing healthcare supporting midwifery or child birthing preparation services

UNSPSC 85101602 Midwifery or child birth preparation services is a Commodity code that designates services related to pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care; however, recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity aligned with midwifery or birthing services. Instead, the code has been applied to a single relevant opportunity in obstetrics and gynecology care, while the majority of recent postings reflect medical services, occupational health, EMS staffing, and specialty healthcare unrelated to the midwifery scope. The code's nominal application appears misaligned with most recent procurement activity tagged under it.

San Bernardino County Department of Public Health solicited comprehensive obstetrics and gynecology services at the Hesperia Federally Qualified Health Center under RFP DPHE26CHC6419 (proposals due October 23, 2026), requiring board-certified obstetricians licensed in California to provide preventive, primary, and gestational-related medical care for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period—the closest match to the code's nominal scope. This opportunity represents clinical delivery of pregnancy and childbirth-related care, though it emphasizes physician-led obstetrics rather than midwifery-specific practice. Beyond this single opportunity, recent state and local postings tagged to this code encompass virtual urgent care, podiatry, dialysis, cancer registry, EMT staffing, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health, athletic training, medical director services, and opioid use disorder treatment—none of which align with midwifery or birth preparation services. The code shows little relevant recent activity; pursuing opportunities requires careful verification that the procuring jurisdiction has actually tagged the work appropriately.
