UNSPSC 85141503: Shamans

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

UNSPSC 85141503 Shamans, a Commodity code, does not describe work that state and local governments are actually procuring. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span virtual urgent care services, medical director roles, nursing home operations, occupational health services, employee wellness platforms, and various clinical and behavioral health programs — none of which align with the shamanism focus implied by the code name. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a data-entry error in how these opportunities were classified or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and contemporary state and local health service procurement. State and local buyers are clearly active in telehealth, emergency medical services, occupational health, behavioral health, and integrated care contracting, but the code 85141503 is not a reliable signal for identifying or tracking those opportunities.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state health departments (Nevada Health Authority, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, New Jersey Department of Health), county health systems (Santa Clara, DeKalb, San Mateo, Brevard), cities (Phoenix, Ocala, Atlanta, Seminole County), school districts (Parkway), transit and public safety agencies (Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Sarasota County Fire Department), and special-purpose districts (Inland Empire Health Plan, Sourcewell). Geographic spread spans California, Georgia, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Oregon, and a dozen other states, with no single region dominating activity. Representative recent opportunities include Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for 24/7 virtual urgent care services (posted October 2026, due October 31), Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly operations (posted October 8, proposals due December 10, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for cancer registry services (proposals due October 12, 2026), and the Colorado Department of Human Services' RFP for enhanced protective placement beds in skilled nursing facilities (proposals due September 10, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity — it is either unused or misapplied by procurement offices filing these solicitations.
