UNSPSC 85911013 Individual psychotherapy, behavioral (Commodity) addresses a fragmented market where state and local governments procure clinical mental health counseling, psychological evaluations, and behavioral health interventions across law enforcement, public safety, human services, corrections, EMS, schools, and workforce development. The work spans pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological testing for police and sheriff departments; crisis intervention and counseling services for EMS providers, jail inmates, and at-risk youth; employee assistance programs for state agencies and transit authorities; specialized behavioral coaching for students with autism and developmental disabilities; and therapeutic services in juvenile justice and child welfare settings. Issuing bodies include city police and fire departments, county sheriffs and detention facilities, state departments of health and human services, independent school districts, transit authorities, state hospitals, and workforce development boards. The District of Columbia, Texas, Colorado, and Washington State emerge as active procurers, with recent activity across California, Georgia, Arizona, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
