UNSPSC 85121702: Optometrist services

in this classification, this commodity indicates the provision of optometric and related services as a specialized medical services provider

UNSPSC 85121702 Optometrist services, Commodity tier, encompasses on-site vision examinations, eye disease diagnosis and treatment, corrective lens provision, and emergency ocular care delivered to defined populations—typically incarcerated individuals, correctional facilities, hospital patients, and other institutional settings. State and local governments are procuring this code at modest volume; the Rhode Island Department of Corrections' recent RFP for on-site optometry at six correctional facilities with 2,400 incarcerated individuals represents the most substantial current opportunity, requiring a minimum of 24 hours monthly optometrist coverage and compliance with American Correctional Association standards, HIPAA, and facility security protocols. Beyond the Rhode Island procurement, recent activity under this code shows limited issuing-body participation—primarily state departments and a handful of local public health agencies have solicited optometry services. The source material identifies no repeat buyers or concentrated procurement pattern; instead, opportunities appear episodic and geographically dispersed, suggesting optometry services are acquired opportunistically rather than systematically across state and local jurisdictions.

The recent Rhode Island procurement, posted July 15, 2026 with an August 12, 2026 proposal deadline, is the sole current opportunity with detailed scope in the source material. The RFP specifies technical competence requirements including eyewear provision (estimated 265 frames, 170 single lenses, 100 bifocal lenses annually), mandatory Rhode Island licensure, professional liability insurance of $2 million per occurrence and aggregate, and a technical scoring maximum of 70 points with up to 6 bonus points for minority, women, or disability business enterprise participation. The initial contract term is three years beginning Fall 2026 with two optional 12-month renewal periods. No other Commodity-level optometry solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block, indicating limited present-moment pursuit activity under this specific code. Vendors should monitor state departments of corrections and institutional health systems for sporadic opportunities; the code itself shows no concentrated procurement momentum in the state and local market as of mid-2026.
