UNSPSC 85131505: Space experimentation

In this classification, this commodity consists of comprehensive services required to be a space experimentation service

UNSPSC 85131505 Space experimentation (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contracting activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities solicited under this Commodity code are occupational medical surveillance and temporary health professional staffing services — workplace health examinations, clinical assessments, and ancillary staffing — which fall outside the code's nominal scope of space research and experimentation. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify occupational health and safety work, signaling a potential taxonomy mismatch rather than active market demand within the code's intended domain.

The three most recent opportunities span Washington State, Florida, and California. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, seeking occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with a pre-bid conference on August 31 and proposals due October 9, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB2600315 on June 29, 2026, for comprehensive occupational wellness examinations supporting the Fire Rescue Department, with an estimated contract value of $2,480,940 over three years and bids due July 21, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, radiology, orthopedic, therapy services, and similar specialties), with proposals due October 7, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to space experimentation.
