UNSPSC 85122101: Physical therapy services

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a physical therapy service

UNSPSC 85122101 Physical therapy services is a Commodity code encompassing direct patient care, rehabilitation instruction, and clinical assessment delivered by licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants across state and local healthcare, custodial, educational, and workforce development settings. State and local governments procure physical therapy under this code to fill critical staffing vacancies in public hospitals, veterans homes, developmental centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and state-supported living centers, typically through temporary staffing arrangements, as-needed contracts, and managed-service partnerships designed to supplement permanent personnel or address specialized populations.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (California Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Utah Department of Health and Human Services, District of Columbia Department of Behavioral Health, Michigan Department of Education), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, San Mateo), county corrections departments, independent school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Griffin-Spalding County in Georgia, Crook County in Oregon, Birdville in Texas, Tacoma Public Schools, Cherokee County in Georgia, Dougherty County in Georgia), and municipalities (City of Tucson). Recent opportunities reflect heavy demand from education and special-education staffing channels seeking speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and orientation-and-mobility specialists serving students with disabilities, alongside sustained state-level procurement of temporary physical therapy coverage at veterans homes and state-supported living centers. Geographic spread spans California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Utah, Michigan, Washington, New Jersey, and Arizona, with particular concentration in Texas (multiple state-supported living centers and psychiatric centers), California (Veterans Homes), and school districts across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) RFP 24127-RFP-DST for 100 speech-language pathologist positions and 2 SLP assistant vacancies with responses due March 23, 2026, estimated annual budget of approximately $11.6 million; California Department of Veterans Affairs IFB 26RS0017 for temporary and relief physical therapy services at Veterans Home of California—Redding with bids due October 6, 2026, 84 monthly hours over 36 months, small business and DVBE preferences available; Bergen County, New Jersey RFQ for on-site physical therapy services for inmates at Bergen County Jail with qualifications due October 8, 2026; Birdville Independent School District (Texas) RFP 01027 for special education contracted services including physical therapist on a 23-line-item basis with proposals due October 21, 2026, $398,494.30 cost-price analysis based on prior expenditures; and Draper City Fire Department (Utah) RFP 26-11 for firefighter wellness and injury prevention program requiring a Doctor of Physical Therapy credential, proposals due October 9, 2026. Prevailing wage, small business set-asides, and DVBE participation incentives are common in state-level procurements; school districts typically weight experience and qualifications heavily alongside cost, with contract terms ranging from one to five years.
