UNSPSC 85911012 Individual psychotherapy, cognitive is a Commodity code covering clinical psychological assessment, evaluation, and counseling services for cognitive and behavioral health interventions. State and local governments are actively procuring cognitive-behavioral and trauma-informed mental health services across three primary contexts: (1) pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological screening for public safety personnel (police, fire, emergency communications); (2) school-based mental health and special education assessment services delivered by licensed psychologists and educational diagnosticians; and (3) crisis stabilization, interim housing, and specialized mental health programming for vulnerable populations including forensic patients, individuals with serious mental illness experiencing homelessness, and first-responder wellness. Issuing bodies include municipal police and fire departments, county and state human services agencies, independent school districts, state mental health facilities, and county behavioral health departments. Cities (Tucson, Tampa, Phoenix, New Haven), counties (Chatham, Hillsborough, Harris, Fairfax, Solano, Santa Clara, Madison), and states (Illinois, Texas, Mississippi, Utah, District of Columbia) are all soliciting under this code. The Illinois Department of Human Services stands out as a repeat buyer, posting multiple rebidded Medical Director positions at mental health centers throughout the state.

Recent activity clusters heavily in the Southeast and Southwest, with concentrated posting activity from Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, California, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the Chatham County Police Department and E911 requesting pre-employment psychological evaluations for approximately 30 candidates annually (RFP 2601206, proposals due October 29, 2026); Clarke County School District seeking student mental and behavioral health services for the 2026-2027 school year (RFP 26-1027, proposals due October 27, 2026); and Trinity County, California soliciting Behavioral Health Interim Housing Placement services providing 90-to-120-day crisis stabilization for up to 50 adults and older adults with serious mental illness and substance use disorders (proposals due October 19, 2026).

Pricing structures vary widely—hourly rates for independent contractor physicians, per-evaluation unit pricing for psychological assessments, and capitated or fee-for-service models for residential crisis programs.
