UNSPSC 85121704: Speech specialist services

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

UNSPSC 85121704 Speech specialist services is a Commodity code capturing clinical and related services that state and local governments buy under this classification, though the recent opportunities block shows minimal activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope. The single relevant opportunity in the dataset is a special education services RFP from Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District in Texas (RFP 25-004V, posted July 2, 2026, closing December 30, 2029) soliciting Speech Language Pathologist services on an as-needed basis across multiple K–12 campuses. The remainder of the opportunities tagged to this code—laboratory testing, occupational health screenings, drug and alcohol testing, medical surveillance, clinical diagnostics, postmortem testing, and inmate medical services—represent clinical laboratory and occupational medicine work that diverges substantially from speech pathology or related therapeutic and educational services. The issuing body mix across the broader dataset reflects state departments of health, human services, and veterans affairs; county health and corrections agencies; transit authorities; school districts; and specialty healthcare facilities. Geographic spread spans Texas, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and other states, with Texas showing the highest concentration of recent solicitations across health screening, laboratory, and diagnostic service categories.

The minimal direct alignment between the code's stated scope and actual recent solicitations suggests this Commodity code experiences low activity for speech specialist services specifically in state and local procurement. The single school district RFP—SCUCISD's multi-service special education procurement offering 36-month contracts with multiple awards to an Approved Provider List—represents the clearest match, with vendors required to demonstrate a minimum five years' experience and work with at least three comparable K–12 district clients, with pricing based on fixed hourly or daily rates and initial year pricing held firm. If pursuing this code, business development professionals should focus on school district special education RFPs rather than expecting activity under the code's formal UNSPSC classification in broader state and local procurement channels; the preponderance of unrelated laboratory and occupational health opportunities suggests the code's taxonomy application remains inconsistent across issuing bodies or that speech specialist services are classified differently by most state and local procurement offices.
