UNSPSC 85911205 Psychological tests, developmental is a Commodity code encompassing standardized psychological assessment, evaluation, and testing services delivered to children, adolescents, and adults across K-12 school systems, public safety agencies, behavioral health facilities, and state institutional settings. State and local governments procure these services primarily for special education eligibility determination, pre-employment fitness screening for law enforcement and emergency personnel, behavioral intervention planning, forensic and competency evaluation, and crisis stabilization and mental health assessment. The work involves administration of validated instruments (MMPI, CPI, PAI, NEO-PI), clinical interviews, written diagnostic reports, and recommendations delivered by licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, or board-certified practitioners in compliance with state licensing requirements and clinical best practices.

School districts, county public safety departments, municipal police and fire agencies, state mental health facilities, and county behavioral health systems drive the volume of solicitation activity under this code. School districts in Texas (Katy ISD, Birdville ISD) and Georgia (Clarke County, Griffin-Spalding) are active repeat buyers of educational diagnostician and school psychologist services for special education assessments and behavioral intervention support. Law enforcement agencies in Florida (Hillsborough County Schools, Chatham County Police, Tampa Police, Tucson Police) and Illinois (Illinois State Police) solicit pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological evaluations. State mental health agencies in Illinois (Department of Human Services) and Texas (Health and Human Services Commission) frequently procure psychiatric and psychological services for institutional settings. County and municipal behavioral health programs in California, Georgia, and Arizona source interim housing stabilization, crisis residential, and mental wellness programs combining clinical assessment with peer support. Representative recent opportunities include Chatham County, Georgia's RFP for pre-employment psychological evaluations at approximately 30 candidates annually with unit pricing and M/WBE participation encouragement (proposals due October 29, 2026); Katy ISD's RFP for educational diagnosticians and licensed school psychologists on hourly basis for special education eligibility and ARD support through August 31, 2031 renewal cycles (proposals due August 13, 2026); Tampa Police Department's RFP for psychological screening of approximately 110 annual applicants using standardized instruments with SLBE certification weighting (proposals due September 29, 2026); and Illinois Department of Human Services' multiple rebid IFBs for medical directors at mental health centers requiring psychiatry licensure and three years administrative experience with firm pricing through June 2029 (questions due dates in July–August 2026).
