UNSPSC 85101605: Home health assistants

In this classification, this class indicates personnel providing healthcare supporting home health services

UNSPSC 85101605 Home health assistants Commodity covers direct clinical care delivery services to patients in institutional and community settings, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show little direct alignment with the classical definition of home health assistance. The code appears to span a broader range of healthcare service contracting than the commodity title suggests, with state and local buyers currently soliciting occupational health services, medical surveillance, athletic training, dialysis services, podiatry, dental anesthesia, specialized medical evaluations, emergency medical technician staffing, and urgent care. Issuing bodies range across state health and human services departments (Texas, District of Columbia, Nevada), county governments (Escambia, San Mateo, Bernalillo, Forsyth, Collier, Seminole, Boulder, Sarasota, Brevard), cities (Arlington, Phoenix, Dallas, Wichita, Tucson, Santa Monica), independent school districts and colleges (Birdville ISD, Mississippi University for Women, Otero College, Texas A&M System), and special-purpose districts (transit authorities, medical centers, fire departments). Recent activity spans California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Kansas, Georgia, New Mexico, Nevada, and Illinois, with Texas and Florida appearing as repeat procuring jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting bids for twice-weekly on-site podiatry services at San Antonio State Hospital under IFB HHS0017863V2 (due October 29, 2026), the Escambia County Corrections Department soliciting proposals for comprehensive onsite chronic dialysis services at county correctional facilities under RFP PD2526121 (due November 3, 2026), the Boulder County Sheriff's Office requesting proposals for 24/7 Emergency Medical Technician staffing at the county jail under RFP RFP31726 (due October 26, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting proposals for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations under RFP RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026). The Inland Empire Health Plan issued an RFI for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services delivered through California board-certified physicians (due October 31, 2026). The commodity code shows active recent procurement momentum across occupational health, emergency services staffing, and specialty clinical services, though the alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests recategorization or expansion of the code's intended use may be warranted.
