UNSPSC 85122100: Medical rehabilitation services for patients

In this classification, this class indicates the breadth and depth of services associated with a type of rehabilitation service.

UNSPSC 85122100 Medical rehabilitation services for patients (Class) encompasses direct clinical rehabilitation care, speech-language pathology, occupational and physical therapy, orientation and mobility services, and related therapeutic interventions that state and local governments procure for vulnerable populations including students with disabilities, institutionalized populations, offenders under supervision, and patients at public psychiatric facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for on-site and as-needed therapy staff, managed staffing solutions for school districts, and specialized rehabilitation programs addressing speech disorders, visual impairment, substance abuse treatment, and occupational wellness in tactical and custodial settings. The buying mix spans school districts (particularly for special education staffing), state departments of health and human services, county corrections and community supervision departments, county health systems, municipal police and fire departments, and state-operated psychiatric facilities and supported living centers. School districts appear as the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFPs and RFQs for speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and comprehensive managed special education staffing services that address chronic shortages in specialized credentials.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Texas, Michigan, California, Georgia, and Washington, with notable activity across the South and Southwest. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for approximately 100 speech-language pathologists and 2 speech-language pathology assistants on an as-needed basis with March 23, 2026 response deadline (establishing contracts valued at approximately $11.6 million annually including IDEA Grant funding); Griffin-Spalding County School System's October 30, 2026 RFP for a managed service provider to deliver comprehensive special education staffing across 18 schools; Harris County Community Supervision & Corrections Department's November 2, 2026 RFSQ for substance abuse treatment and cognitive interventions for female offenders; and the City of Tucson's June 9, 2026 RFP for athletic training services supporting injury prevention and return-to-duty for fire and police departments. Contractual themes across these solicitations emphasize rapid response times (24- to 48-hour service deployment windows), licensure and credential verification, IDEA and HIPAA compliance, worker and professional liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range, and multi-year initial terms (typically two to five years) with renewal options. Pricing is commonly firm and fixed with CPI adjustments permitted in renewal periods.
