UNSPSC 85921300: Psychotherapy and counseling

This class includes one or more of multiple psychotherapy and counseling interventions and treatments. 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 HZ.

UNSPSC 85921300 Psychotherapy and counseling is a Class code covering crisis intervention, stabilization, and mental health support services that state and local governments procure for vulnerable populations—particularly children and families in acute behavioral or psychiatric distress. State and local issuers soliciting under this code include state health departments, school districts, and related public agencies. Work under the code ranges from 24/7 mobile crisis response teams deployed for face-to-face de-escalation and in-home intervention, to contracted clinical mental health therapists and counselors serving school populations with special education needs. Contractors typically must hire or deploy licensed clinical mental health professionals, case workers, school psychologists, and related specialists; meet specific response-time and availability standards (such as same-day or continuous deployment); and report performance data monthly or quarterly against outcome metrics tied to crisis prevention, home stabilization, and reduced reliance on emergency services or out-of-home placement.

Recent activity shows the code is actively solicited across multiple states and jurisdiction types. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services posted RFP DHHS26085 on June 19, 2026, seeking a five-year Stabilization and Mobile Response contract valued at $5 million for crisis intervention and in-home stabilization services across eight Western Region counties, with proposals due July 7, 2026. The Cherokee County School District in Georgia posted RFP SSCS2026RFP on May 15, 2026, requesting contracted clinical and related-services staff (licensed counselors, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and others) to support special education across approximately 40 schools over a 36-month term beginning July 1, 2026, with proposals due June 2, 2026. Both solicitations emphasize contractor capacity to deploy trained, licensed personnel on tight timelines and to document outcomes aligned with child safety, family stabilization, and crisis prevention objectives.
