UNSPSC 85121603: Cardiology services

In this commodity, this commodity indicates the performance of cardiology services

UNSPSC 85121603 Cardiology services is a Commodity code covering on-site medical and clinical services that state and local governments procure for specialized patient populations — wound care, medication dispensing, radiological consultation, emergency medical services oversight, correctional healthcare, occupational medicine, and related diagnostic and therapeutic functions. The code appears to capture a broad range of clinical service contracting rather than cardiology-specific work; recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect state health agencies, county correction systems, fire departments, and special-purpose healthcare districts seeking qualified licensed providers to deliver episodic or ongoing clinical services in institutional settings. Issuing bodies include state health commissions and departments of corrections (Texas HHSC, Kentucky DOC, Mississippi State Hospital), county sheriff and detention systems (Beaufort County, Richmond County, Muscogee County), county health departments (DeKalb Public Health in Georgia, Hall County), fire protection districts (Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County, Seminole County, Henry County), school districts (Austin ISD), and specialty healthcare organizations (Inland Empire Health Plan, San Mateo Medical Center). The code sees repeat activity from Texas state agencies and Kentucky corrections; no single jurisdiction dominates the activity stream. Recent work solicited includes wound care assessment and treatment at state-supported living centers (Texas HHSC, July 2026 due), primary care medication dispensing for Ryan White programs (DeKalb Public Health, July 2026 due), radiology consultation and interpretation (Mississippi State, August 2026 due), external quality review organization services for Medicaid managed care (Washington State Health Care Authority, August 2026 due, $12.1 million five-year contract), pre-booking medical clearances and Narcan program management (City of Santa Monica, July 2026 due), comprehensive medical services for correctional facilities (Kentucky DOC, multiple RFPs with July 2026 dues, six-year potential term), medical director services for EMS systems (Seminole County and Clackamas Fire, August and July 2026 dues), and podiatry services at state institutions (Texas HHSC, July 2026 dues).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and Kentucky, with secondary activity in Georgia, Florida, Washington State, Mississippi, Oregon, and California. Pricing spans small annual contracts under $100,000 (podiatry and wound care at state facilities, $60,000–$75,000 annually) to large multi-year obligations (Kentucky correctional medical services, $6 million performance bonds and per-diem per-inmate-per-day cost structures; Washington EQRO, $12.1 million over five years). Insurance requirements are consistent across the code: professional liability of $1 million per occurrence is standard; commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence with $2 million aggregate is typical; workers' compensation at statutory or specified limits appears on all institutional healthcare procurements. Evaluation weighting tends to emphasize qualifications and experience over cost alone, with best-value scoring frameworks that include references, prior performance in similar settings, scope comprehension, and cost as secondary factors. No recent opportunities show federal set-asides (8(a), WOSB, HUBZone), but state-level SBE, MBE, WBE, and local-vendor preferences appear on California, Georgia, and Texas procurements. Response windows are typically 21–45 days from posting to sealed-bid or RFP due dates.
