UNSPSC 85911205 Psychological tests, developmental (Commodity) encompasses pre-employment psychological evaluations for law enforcement, correctional, and emergency medical services personnel; fitness-for-duty assessments; behavioral health consultations; and clinical evaluations for special populations. State and local governments solicit under this code to vet public safety candidates, assess employee suitability following critical incidents, and procure counseling and mental health support for first responders and vulnerable populations including youth in detention and foster care. The code shows mixed issuing-body activity: municipal police and fire departments (New Haven, Orlando, Tucson, Phoenix, Cuyahoga County Sheriff), county behavioral health and human services agencies (Solano County, Montgomery County), state correctional and mental health facilities (Kentucky Correctional Psychiatric Center, Mississippi State Hospital), school districts (Katy ISD, DeKalb County, Boulder County), and specialized transit and emergency services authorities (Colorado EMS peer assistance). Recent solicitations reflect sustained demand for licensed clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical social workers holding state licensure and specialized certifications (BCBA for behavior analysis, board certification in forensic psychiatry, Connecticut POST compliance). Work is concentrated in Texas, Connecticut, Colorado, California, and the Southeast, with scattered single-jurisdiction opportunities across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Representative recent activity includes the City of New Haven Police Department's RFP (2026RFPCNH381, due August 4, 2026) for psychological testing of police candidates—requiring a licensed clinical psychologist or licensed clinical social worker meeting Connecticut POST regulation 7-294e-16(j), assessing 40–60 candidates annually, with compensation structured on a per-evaluation basis plus hourly consultation rates for hearings or litigation support; Katy Independent School District's RFP #2516YT (due August 13, 2026) for Educational Diagnosticians and Licensed School Psychologists—requesting hourly-rate proposals for full and bilingual evaluations to determine special education eligibility, with pricing at 30 percent evaluation weight; the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's PATH4EMS Peer Assistance RFP (due August 3, 2026) for mental health counseling and crisis services for certified EMS providers across Arapahoe County and Denver, capped at $125 per billable hour with $1,875 annual participant limits; and Greenville County's RFP #26082 (due March 24, 2026) for psychotherapy and behavioral health services to Emergency Medical Services personnel, structured on per-visit pricing with embedded, telehealth, and 24/7 crisis line components. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Texas entities often enforce HUB subcontracting requirements, while Colorado extends preferences to Washington Small Businesses and Veteran-Owned Businesses in certain procurements. Contract terms typically run one to five years with renewal options; pricing is almost exclusively hourly or per-service, with no minimum volume guarantees across the recent record.
