UNSPSC 85121600: Medical doctor specialist services

In this classification, this class consists of different types of medical doctor specialty services

UNSPSC 85121600 Medical doctor specialist services is a Class code that encompasses telehealth urgent care, podiatry, forensic pathology, occupational medicine, infectious disease, emergency medical direction, disability evaluation, and fire service occupational health — a broad set of specialized physician services that state and local governments procure to serve inmate populations, public employees, students, and patients in public health facilities. Recent state and local opportunities show demand across correctional healthcare (virtual urgent care and in-custody medical services), occupational and fitness-for-duty evaluations for uniformed personnel and municipal workforces, public hospital specialty medicine, and medical direction for emergency services and pension systems. The issuing-body mix spans county correctional departments, county sheriffs' offices, county and municipal human resources agencies, state departments of health and human services, transit authorities, fire departments, school districts, and county health departments. Repeat buyers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which has posted multiple opportunities for infectious disease, dental anesthesia, and other specialist services at state-operated facilities; San Mateo County; and multiple Florida and Colorado entities seeking occupational medicine or fire service physicians.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, and Colorado, with additional recent opportunities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Illinois, New Mexico, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include: Inland Empire Health Plan (California) issuing an RFI for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services delivered by board-certified physicians, due October 31, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting an IFB for twice-weekly podiatry services at San Antonio State Hospital at approximately $93,000 annually, bids due October 29, 2026; Orange County, California issuing an RFP for forensic pathology autopsy services with a firm fixed-fee-per-case structure, forensic pathology board certification required, proposals due October 30, 2026; the Middlesex Sheriff's Office requesting bids for comprehensive medical and mental health services at a Massachusetts jail, due November 18, 2026; and Escambia County Corrections in Florida seeking proposals for onsite chronic dialysis services for inmate patients, proposals due November 3, 2026. Nebo School District in Utah solicited statements of qualifications for a medical professional (APRN or MD/DO) to provide school nursing support, due October 20, 2026. Pricing structures vary widely — some opportunities are fixed-fee per-visit or per-procedure models, others contingency-based (recovery audit services capped at 12.5% of improper payments recovered), and some annual or monthly retainers. Insurance requirements typically include professional liability at $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation, general liability, and cyber liability where client data access is involved.
