UNSPSC 85921335 Individual counseling for substance abuse treatment, 12-step, is a Commodity code that names a narrow service line, but recent state and local opportunities show that government procurement under this code spans a much broader mix of behavioral health, addiction recovery, and peer support services—including substance abuse treatment programs, recovery housing placement, peer recovery coaching, and cognitive-criminogenic interventions for offender populations. County community supervision and corrections departments, cities, and state health agencies are the primary issuing bodies. The code sees active recent solicitation in Texas (Harris County Community Supervision & Corrections Department requesting substance abuse treatment and cognitive interventions for female offenders under RFSQ 260267, with responses due November 2, 2026), New Mexico (the City of Albuquerque soliciting a Continuing Sobriety Voucher Pilot Program provider through RFP 2026765HHHFS, proposals due May 28, 2026), Georgia (Fulton County requesting opioid use disorder prevention and education services under RFP 26RFP1629089A-BKJ, due August 12, 2026), and Arizona (the City of Phoenix issuing RFP PS-26-0265 for a Shoplifting/Theft Diversion Program with counseling components, sealed proposals due June 3, 2026, now closed). These solicitations reveal that government entities are contracting for evidence-based treatment modalities, recovery housing with supportive services, peer-led interventions, and criminogenic cognitive programming rather than narrowly defined 12-step counseling alone.

The issuing bodies mix county-level community corrections departments (Harris County), state health and corrections agencies, cities (Phoenix, Albuquerque, Salem), and counties (Fulton County). Geographic spread includes Texas, New Mexico, Georgia, Arizona, and Oregon, with concentrated activity in Texas and the Southwest. The Harris County RFSQ (260267) exemplifies the current scope: substance abuse treatment services and cognitive and criminogenic interventions for female offenders in the Women Helping Ourselves Program, performance in Harris County, contract beginning February 1, 2027. The Albuquerque RFP (2026765HHHFS) solicits Level-3 recovery housing placement with comprehensive case management, peer recovery coaching, medication-assisted treatment linkages, and employment navigation for up to twenty-five individuals annually exiting treatment, two-year pilot with Opioid Settlement Fund backing. The Fulton County RFP (26RFP1629089A-BKJ) covers opioid use disorder prevention, education, response, and recovery action targeting at-risk and system-involved youth, one-year term funded through Georgia's Opioid Settlement Program. Recent activity reflects strong opioid-settlement-driven demand and expanding state-local focus on diversion, recovery housing, and peer support—a shift from treatment-only procurement toward integrated recovery ecosystems.
