UNSPSC 85122109: Rehabilitation services for people with chronic disabilities

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a chronic disability rehabilitation service

UNSPSC 85122109 Rehabilitation services for people with chronic disabilities is a Commodity code capturing specialized therapeutic and rehabilitative services that state and local governments procure for individuals with visual impairments, developmental disabilities, behavioral health needs, and other chronic conditions. Recent opportunities under this code reflect state health and human services agencies, school districts, and county behavioral health departments soliciting orientation and mobility specialists, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, mental health clinicians, peer support specialists, and music therapists. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission dominates the recent posting volume with five separate invitations for certified orientation and mobility specialists at state supported living centers and schools for the blind—a credential-gated service line requiring ACVREP or NBPCB certification—alongside procurement for art therapy, music therapy, and peer recovery support at psychiatric centers. School districts across multiple states (Michigan, Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Florida) are actively soliciting speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and physical therapy on as-needed or contract staffing bases to meet special education service mandates under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. County and municipal behavioral health agencies including Fulton County, Georgia; Ventura County, California; and Bibb County, Georgia are procuring home-based and virtual mental health services, residential recovery housing, and substance use disorder treatment addressing opioid epidemics and reentry populations. Work is geographically dispersed across Texas, California, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, New Mexico, and Mississippi, with Texas and Georgia showing the highest concentration of recent postings.

Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist at Brenham State Supported Living Center (HHS0017698, RFQ due July 28, 2026) with a historical value of $13,000 annually and expected 200 hours of service; the Michigan Department of Education's RFP for occupational therapy services at the Michigan School for the Deaf (RFP 260000002364, proposals due July 28, 2026) for approximately 600 hours annually serving 130 residential and day students; the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families' RFQ for an Adolescent Transitional Living Program in Region 6 (RFQ 26DCYFCW104, responses due August 20, 2026) providing 24-hour residential care for five youth at $13,137 per bed monthly plus startup funding; and Fulton County, Georgia's RFP for opioid use disorder prevention, response, and education services (RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ, proposals due August 12, 2026) funded through opioid settlement monies. The code shows strong activity in school-based and state-operated residential settings, with pricing typically structured as hourly or per-session rates, firm-fixed during initial terms, and frequently indexed to CPI or federal minimum wage upon renewal. Credential and licensure requirements are decisive gatekeepers across most solicitations, making professional certifications in rehabilitation therapies, orientation and mobility, art or music therapy, mental health counseling, and peer support recovery the primary competition filters.
