UNSPSC 85101603: Personal care services in specialized institutions

In this classification, this class indicates personnel providing healthcare supporting personal care services

UNSPSC 85101603 Personal care services in specialized institutions (Commodity) encompasses wound care, podiatry, orientation and mobility services, occupational health examinations, and medical director oversight delivered on-site at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, fire departments, and related institutional settings. State and local governments procure these services across health and human services departments, sheriff's offices, fire protection districts, correctional systems, county health authorities, and school districts; Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Corrections, and Florida county governments are standout repeat buyers in the recent opportunities block. Current solicitations emphasize direct clinical services—wound assessment and management at residential facilities, podiatry evaluations and treatment, sonography and diagnostic services, pre-employment and fitness-for-duty medical clearances, and on-site pharmacy support—with mandatory licensure, board certification, insurance, and background screening as baseline requirements across all service types.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Kentucky, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in Oregon, California, Mississippi, and other states. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) wound care services IFB for Richmond State Supported Living Center (HHS0017728, responses due July 30, 2026 at $75,000 annual spend), the Kentucky Department of Corrections comprehensive medical services RFP (RFP50026000003804, responses due July 16, 2026 covering approximately 6,725 inmates statewide with a $6 million performance bond requirement), the DeKalb Public Health medication dispensing RFQ for Ryan White patients (PE77353NONST2027000000027, responses due July 27, 2026 with historical annual spend of $2,000 to $3,500), and the Seminole County Medical Director for EMS services RFQ (RFP527726GCM, responses due August 5, 2026). Multi-facility correctional healthcare contracts and state-level institutional care represent the largest procurement volume, while smaller jurisdictions and specialized care lines (wound care, pharmacy, podiatry) drive higher-frequency, lower-dollar opportunities across the country.
