UNSPSC 85121607 Psychiatrist services is a Commodity code capturing independent clinical and administrative psychiatric services state and local governments procure for public safety personnel screening, institutional care delivery, forensic evaluation, and behavioral health program support. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychiatric evaluations, full-time and part-time medical director roles at mental health facilities, forensic psychiatric assessment, and integrated psychiatry services embedded in school and occupational health programs. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments and regional authorities (Chatham County Police/E911, Harris County Public Health, Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), city police and fire departments (Tampa, Tucson, New Haven), independent school districts (Katy ISD, Clarke County, Griffin-Spalding County, Madison Metro), and specialty state institutions (Illinois mental health centers, Mississippi psychiatric facilities, Texas psychiatric centers). Illinois DHS emerges as a standout repeat buyer, with multiple concurrent postings for medical directors at Chester Mental Health Center, Alton Mental Health Center, Packard Mental Health Center, and ICRE-Roosevelt in Chicago throughout the summer of 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Illinois (multiple state mental health facility medical director positions), Texas (HHSC forensic and institutional psychiatry, Katy ISD school psychologist services), and Georgia (Chatham County pre-employment evaluations, Clarke County school behavioral health, Augusta-Richmond County first responder wellness). Representative recent opportunities include Chatham County Police Department's September 2026 RFP for pre-employment psychological evaluations at approximately 30 candidates annually, with M/WBE participation weighted as a 15-point evaluation factor; Clarke County School District's October 2026 RFP for student mental and behavioral health services with a pre-proposal conference on October 14; and the Illinois Department of Human Services' August 2026 IFB for a Medical Director at Chester Mental Health Center requiring Illinois psychiatric board certification and minimum three years medical administrative experience, with the position structured as an independent contractor role compensated on an all-inclusive hourly rate basis. Contract vehicles vary from single-source awards (School Board of Hillsborough County's October 2026 notice for Insights to Behavior behavior management platform) to multi-award frameworks (Tucson's open and continuous qualified vendor list for police psychological services, accepting proposals through May 2028) and cooperative purchasing arrangements (Region 7's October 2026 catalog discount bid for special education and supplies).
