UNSPSC 85921307 Individual psychotherapy for substance abuse treatment, motivational enhancement is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are purchasing clinical mental health and substance use disorder treatment services, delivered through individual therapy modalities focused on behavior change, recovery motivation, and relapse prevention. Recent opportunities show a mix of issuing bodies — county departments of corrections and community supervision, municipal community services entities, state health agencies, and behavioral health authorities — seeking providers to deliver motivationally-informed individual therapy and related cognitive-behavioral interventions to adult offenders, juvenile justice populations, and system-involved individuals in recovery. Two representative recent opportunities illustrate the current activity: Harris County Community Supervision & Corrections Department issued an RFSQ in October 2026 for substance abuse treatment services and cognitive interventions for female offenders in the Women Helping Ourselves Program, with qualifications due November 2, 2026 and performance beginning February 1, 2027; and Fulton County, Georgia's Department of Behavioral Health issued RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ in July 2026 for prevention, response, and education services addressing opioid use disorders, with proposals due August 12, 2026, requiring Project Managers with minimum five years' opioid use disorder and substance use disorder expertise.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and California, with secondary activity in Arizona, Washington, New Mexico, and Georgia. The issuing bodies include both criminal justice supervision agencies (county probation, corrections departments) and public health/behavioral health authorities (county health systems, state health and human services commissions, city community services departments). Contract terms typically run one to three years with renewal options, and service delivery models emphasize integrated care combining individual therapy, case management, peer support, medication-assisted treatment navigation, and employment linkages. Evaluation criteria commonly weight qualifications and past performance at 15–25 percent, technical approach and service delivery model at 30–45 percent, and cost at 12–25 percent. Vendors must hold applicable state clinical licensure or certification (Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or psychologist credentials), carry professional liability and general liability insurance typically at $1–2 million per occurrence, comply with HIPAA and state confidentiality rules, and meet criminal background clearance standards. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction — San Bernardino County applies 5% local vendor preference; Fulton County offers preferences for service-disabled veteran businesses and local-county-based vendors; Washington State and New Mexico jurisdictions extend small-business and veteran-owned-business preferences.
