UNSPSC 85911200: Psychological tests

This class includes one or more of multiple psychological testing interventions or procedures. These interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code GZ.

UNSPSC 85911200 Psychological tests is a Class code covering pre-employment and clinical psychological assessments that state and local governments procure to evaluate workforce candidates before hiring. The Unified Fire Authority solicitation demonstrates the concrete scope: administration and interpretation of standardized instruments such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) and California Psychological Inventory (CPI), personal history review, background investigation narrative review, medical records review, and clinical interviews. The work is performed by licensed psychological professionals on behalf of public-sector employers, typically fire departments, police agencies, and other safety-critical services. Issuing bodies under this code include special-purpose districts (such as fire authorities), as well as state departments, municipalities, and county agencies that conduct hiring for law enforcement, emergency services, and other roles where psychological fitness is a job requirement. The engagement model typically involves a per-evaluation fee structure on a service-for-hire basis, with contract terms often spanning multiple years with renewal options.

The Unified Fire Authority RFP #202604, posted September 1, 2026 with proposals due October 1, 2026, represents current activity in Utah County and Salt Lake County.

Evaluation proposals are weighted 30% on qualifications, 20% on approach to services, 20% on experience with public agencies, and 30% on fee proposal; pricing must remain firm for the contract duration unless manufacturer costs increase. The successful vendor must carry $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate Commercial General Liability and $1 million Comprehensive Automobile Liability, with UFA named as additional insured, and deliver results within 14 days of assessment. The RFP permits oral interviews and onsite inspections with prospective offerors and reserves the right to accept a proposal without discussion within ninety days of submission.
