UNSPSC 85171601: Hospice administration service

Service provided to operate and/or administer hospice facilities

UNSPSC 85171601 Hospice administration service is a Commodity code representing direct nursing staffing and clinical support services that state and local governments procure for medically complex patient populations in school, correctional, and healthcare settings. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying specialized nursing care for students with complex medical needs, mobile dialysis services for incarcerated populations, occupational health screening for public employees, clinical laboratory testing, and related medical professional staffing — a scope notably broader than the code's nominal "hospice" framing and reflecting actual procurement practice around skilled clinical personnel and diagnostic services.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county corrections departments (Escambia County Corrections in Florida), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System in California), state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Kentucky Department of Veteran Affairs), municipalities (City of Austin, Trophy Club Fire Department in Texas), and specialized health authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan in California, Integral Care in Texas). Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, Illinois, California, and Nevada, with scattered activity across Georgia, Colorado, New Jersey, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools' Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source (solicitation 25619SSDDST, due December 2, 2025) for comprehensive 1:1 pediatric nursing staffing supporting medically fragile students requiring ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and medication administration; Escambia County Corrections' RFP (solicitation PD2526121, due November 3, 2026) for onsite chronic dialysis services for inmate patients at county jail facilities; and the State of Illinois Department of Human Services' IFB (solicitation 27444DHSPROCUB53746, due September 9, 2026) for clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities statewide. The code shows consistent activity across occupational medicine, clinical lab support, drug and alcohol testing administration, and specialized nursing in institutional settings, with contract values ranging from under $100,000 to multi-million-dollar statewide frameworks and initial terms of one to five years with optional renewals.
