UNSPSC 85101702: Health legislation or regulations

In this classification, this commodity indicates the procedures involved to conduct a set of regulations and laws that specify the operations of a health system

UNSPSC 85101702 Health legislation or regulations is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of advisory, analytical, and administrative services supporting the design, implementation, and evaluation of health policy and regulatory frameworks. State and local governments are actively soliciting under this code to address pressing healthcare access, program integrity, workforce development, and behavioral health challenges—work that ranges from evidence synthesis and regulatory impact modeling to grant management, case management infrastructure, and program operations oversight. The Nevada Health Authority is procuring comprehensive PACE (Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly) operations across three service areas under RFP 41NHA-S4038, with proposals due December 10, 2026, representing a $4.5 billion-plus annual statewide commitment to integrate medical, behavioral health, and social services for seniors 55 and older. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is simultaneously seeking a statewide Medicaid and CHIP dental managed care contractor under RFP HHS0017108 (due December 7, 2026) covering approximately 3.2 million beneficiaries with an estimated annual program cost of $77 million to $197 million. The Florida Department of Children and Families issued an RFI (due November 19, 2026) to gather market intelligence on SNAP purchasing data analysis methodologies and vendors capable of evaluating the impact of nutritional policy restrictions on household food purchasing behavior—work directly supporting evidence-based health regulation refinement at the state level.

Issuing bodies reflect a mix of state departments of health, human services, and social services; county health authorities; regional and municipal public bodies; and specialized authorities such as transit agencies, school districts, and pension boards. Nevada Health Authority, Texas HHSC, Florida DCF, Mississippi Department of Mental Health, South Dakota Department of Health and Social Services, and South Dakota Department of Social Services appear across multiple recent solicitations, indicating sustained departmental investment in regulatory implementation and program oversight. Geographic spread encompasses the Southwest (Nevada, Texas, Arizona), Southeast (Florida, Georgia, Mississippi), and Upper Midwest (South Dakota, Wisconsin), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington) and coastal California. The work being procured—PACE operations, Medicaid managed care, telehealth and crisis support platforms, case management systems, nursing home and correctional health services, occupational wellness, grant administration, and rural health transformation consulting—reflects a shift toward technology-enabled care coordination, behavioral health integration, rural access expansion, and data-driven health policy refinement, with federal CMS and HHS Rural Health Transformation funding driving much of the activity in rural states.
