UNSPSC 85111616: Alcoholism prevention or control services

In this classification, this commodity indicates the activities required for the prevention and control of alcoholism

UNSPSC 85111616 Alcoholism prevention or control services, a Commodity code, encompasses substance use disorder and opioid addiction treatment funding, prevention staffing support, and related public health program work that state and local jurisdictions procure through grants, staffing contracts, and community organization partnerships. The actual work bought under this code reflects state health departments, counties, and municipal health systems addressing opioid use disorder, co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions, and prevention infrastructure through evidence-based programming and qualified clinical or community-based service delivery. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county health systems, municipal governments, and health authorities seeking both direct service providers (clinical staffing, prevention coordinators) and eligible grantees or subcontractors to stand up or support treatment capacity and prevention initiatives.

Recent activity spans Texas, Maryland, and California. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP on October 8, 2026 (due October 22, 2026) for an annual requirements contract for mosquito control services—a misclassified posting with no relevance to substance use prevention or treatment. The Maryland Department of Health's Quantico Area Community Development Office sought an African American serving community-based organization to support prevention staff as of July 14, 2026 (due July 16, 2026), and Bernalillo County, New Mexico posted a grant opportunity on May 27, 2026 (due July 1, 2026) for capital projects and operating expenses funded through opioid settlement allocations to support treatment of opioid use disorder and co-occurring conditions. The County of Santa Clara Health System, California posted a temporary health professional staffing solicitation on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories; while the posting does not tag substance use services explicitly, health systems increasingly use such vehicles to source prevention and treatment support roles. The code shows limited recent state and local activity directly aligned to its nominal scope, with the most clearly on-point opportunity being Bernalillo County's opioid settlement grant vehicle.
