UNSPSC 85861036, Chiropractic manipulation of head, non-manual, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity; the posted opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the nominal scope of chiropractic services. Instead, the recent state and local solicitations are concentrated in orientation and mobility specialist services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, mental health counseling, and behavioral support—none of which align with chiropractic manipulation. Multiple Texas Health and Human Services Commission postings between June and July 2026 sought Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialists (COMS) for visually impaired and blind residents at state-supported living centers and schools (HHS0017698, HHS0016970, HHS0017600, HHS0017468, HHS0016932A), while Michigan's Department of Education and Washington's Department of Children, Youth & Families respectively procured occupational therapy and adolescent transitional living services. The broader volume of activity under this code designation includes school districts in Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and other states contracting for speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists to serve special education populations. A handful of behavioral health and mental health service contracts posted across Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and New Mexico in February through June 2026 similarly appear to be miscoded under this UNSPSC category.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Clayton County and Eanes Independent School Districts in Georgia and Texas; Tacoma Public Schools, Crook County School District in Oregon; Ocean Springs School District in Mississippi; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida) and specialized state agencies (Texas HHSC, Michigan Department of Education, Washington DCYF). Texas HHSC was a repeat issuer, posting multiple orientation and mobility specialist solicitations. Representative opportunities include the Texas HHSC RFB HHS0017698 for a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist at Brenham State Supported Living Center (due July 28, 2026) at approximately $13,000 annual value with three-year initial term; Michigan Department of Education RFP 260000002364 for occupational therapy at the Michigan School for the Deaf (due July 28, 2026) for approximately 600 hours annually; and Fulton County, Georgia's RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ for opioid prevention and education services (due August 12, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Washington, and Oregon, with scattered postings in Colorado, Arizona, Mississippi, and other states. The code's stated scope does not match what is actually being procured, making this a poor fit for business development professionals pursuing chiropractic or manipulation-therapy contracts.
