UNSPSC 85921319 Group counseling for substance abuse treatment, motivational enhancement is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure behavioral health and recovery support services—chiefly substance abuse treatment counseling, peer recovery specialist services, recovery housing placement, and related wraparound interventions for offenders, treatment-program graduates, and individuals exiting the criminal justice system. Recent opportunities show a mix of issuing bodies: criminal justice agencies (county community supervision and corrections departments), city and county health departments, and specialized behavioral health authorities. The scope varies widely across posted solicitations: Harris County Community Supervision & Corrections Department issued an RFSQ for substance abuse treatment services and cognitive-criminogenic interventions tailored to female offenders beginning February 1, 2027; the City of Albuquerque's Department of Health, Housing and Homelessness procured a two-year Continuing Sobriety Voucher pilot program through an RFP due May 28, 2026, offering Level-3 recovery housing placement and case management to up to twenty-five individuals annually exiting treatment; Fulton County, Georgia solicited proposals under RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ for prevention, response, education, and priority action services addressing opioid use disorders, due August 12, 2026; and the City of Phoenix issued an RFP for a shoplifting/theft diversion program with educational and counseling group sessions capped at thirty and fifteen participants respectively, with proposals due May 27, 2026. Common contract features include mandatory compliance with HIPAA and state confidentiality laws, detailed insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million general liability minimums typical), proof of clinical licensure or certification where applicable, and linkage to federal or state recovery funding.

The code sees active procurement across the South, Southwest, and Mid-Atlantic regions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple related opportunities (orientation and mobility services, art therapy, peer support services, music therapy) spanning state psychiatric centers and supported living centers; these parallel the substance abuse treatment scope in requiring certified practitioners and recovery-focused interventions. Albuquerque, Phoenix, Fulton County (Georgia), Harris County (Texas), and Salem (Oregon) represent recent geographic concentration. San Bernardino County's high-value RFP for High Fidelity Wraparound Services (RFP DBH 25-187, $541.5 million total over five years, approximately $108.3 million annually, proposals due October 15, 2026) underscores scaling of wraparound models integrating peer support, medication support, and crisis intervention for Medi-Cal beneficiaries—a significant demand signal. Washington State agencies (Department of Children, Youth & Families, Department of Commerce) have posted related youth and victim advocacy services, broadening the code's applicability beyond adult offender and substance abuse populations. Contract terms typically span one to five years with renewal options contingent on performance and appropriations; evaluation weights program approach and qualifications heavily over cost. The code is active and worth sustained pursuit, particularly for firms with clinical expertise in evidence-based recovery models, certification in peer support or trauma-informed care, and capability to serve justice-involved populations.
