UNSPSC 85141500: Faith healers

In this classification, this class is composed of those who provide the breadth and depth of services to be a faith based healing service

UNSPSC 85141500 Faith healers is a Class code that spans laboratory testing, clinical diagnostic services, occupational health screening, and postmortem specimen analysis procured by state and local health departments, county medical examiners' offices, school districts, and mental health and veterans' facilities. The code shows significant recent activity and reflects a fundamental mismatch between its nominal descriptor and actual state and local purchasing patterns—government bodies are soliciting clinical laboratory and occupational health services across a diverse range of care settings, with faith-healing practices absent from the recorded opportunities.

State and local issuers pursuing contracts under this code include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Department of Human Services, Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (multiple facilities), Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Colorado Department of Human Services, Harris County Public Health Services, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, several independent school districts, county fire departments, and county medical examiners' offices. The work being solicited splits into three primary streams: clinical laboratory services (specimen collection, testing, and result reporting for psychiatric hospitals, veterans' homes, and skilled nursing facilities), occupational health screening (medical examinations, drug and alcohol testing, and fitness-for-duty evaluations for public employees and first responders), and specialized postmortem and environmental testing. Recent opportunities name the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's lead sample analysis services (bids due July 31, 2026, IFB HHS0017054V2, requiring EPA-recognized NLLAP accreditation with result delivery in 24 to 48 hours), the Illinois Department of Human Services' clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities (bids due August 4, 2026, IFB B-52955, with a 7% Business Enterprise Program goal), the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs' medical laboratory services at multiple veterans centers (ongoing multiple RFPs with June and July deadlines), and Hillsborough County's occupational wellness examinations for firefighters (bids due July 21, 2026, ITB-26-00315, estimated at $2,480,940 over three years). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, Florida, and Georgia, with Texas and Kentucky showing the most recent volume. The code's actual use by state and local buyers reflects clinical, occupational, and forensic laboratory demand rather than faith-healing services, suggesting either historical classification drift or systematic vendor miscoding of laboratory-services solicitations.
