This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code F06Z1ZZ

UNSPSC 85903170 Speech-language pathology and related disorders counseling treatment (Commodity) encompasses speech and language rehabilitation services for state and local populations with communication and swallowing disorders, though recent solicitations show the code tagged to procurement activity that diverges substantially from its nominal scope. The Nevada Health Authority's Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) opportunity, due December 10, 2026, explicitly includes speech-language pathology therapies among a comprehensive adult day health and nursing facility service bundle serving seniors ages 55 and older on Medicaid. Beyond that PACE RFP, the recent opportunities block shows no other solicitations directly aligned with speech-language pathology service delivery; the remaining postings address medical exams, cancer screening, occupational health services, wellness platforms, EMS billing, and other clinical services that fall outside the code's primary scope.

The code shows sparse recent activity and organizational diversity where activity does appear. The Nevada Health Authority, a state-level health authority, is the primary buyer of record in the identifiable recent opportunity; regional and local health care purchasing bodies including county health systems and public hospitals appear in related clinical-services solicitations but not specifically for speech-language pathology. Geographic concentration is minimal; the PACE procurement operates statewide across Nevada. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual procurement activity signals that this code experiences limited targeted solicitation volume for standalone speech-language pathology services at state and local government level, and when applied, is often tagged as a subordinate component within broader integrated health-delivery contracts rather than as a primary procurement vehicle.
