UNSPSC 85921110 Medication management for substance abuse treatment, nicotine replacement is a Commodity code that does not match the substance of recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The recent opportunities block shows no procurements for medication management, nicotine replacement therapy, or pharmaceutical services of any kind. Instead, the code carries activity in behavioral health treatment, mental health services, substance use disorder prevention and education, recovery housing, peer support, occupational and physical therapy, speech-language pathology, orientation and mobility services, and clinical assessment—none of which are medication management or nicotine-focused interventions. State and local buyers using this code tag are evidently misclassifying behavioral health and therapeutic service work that belongs in other UNSPSC families.

The issuing bodies are mixed across state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Washington DCYF and HCA, Fulton County Georgia), school districts (Michigan, Tacoma, Clayton County Georgia, multiple others), counties (Denton, Walworth, Kenosha, Pinal Arizona, Boulder Colorado), and cities (Phoenix, Albuquerque, Tucson, Salem Oregon). Recent geographic concentration appears in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements), Georgia (Fulton County, Bibb County, Dougherty County, Clayton County), Michigan, Washington, and Colorado, with scattered activity across Oregon, Mississippi, Florida, New Mexico, and Arizona. A representative example is the Texas HHSC solicitation HHS0017698 (July 14, 2026, due July 28) for a Certified Orientation Mobility Specialist at Brenham State Supported Living Center, an IFB for vision rehabilitation services with a historical annual spend of $13,000 and expected approximately 200 hours at firm, fixed hourly rates. Another is Fulton County Georgia's RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ (July 6, 2026, due August 12) for prevention and education services targeting opioid use disorder, funded through Georgia's Opioid Settlement Program, evaluating on project plan (45%), personnel qualifications (15%), experience (15%), and cost (15%), with a mandatory pre-proposal conference July 22. The code shows little relevant procurement activity and appears to be a classification error or legacy tag that state and local offices have not cleaned.
