UNSPSC 93142201: Accommodation service for youth in need

Type of accommodation service for young people that need assistance because of abuse, physical or mental problems or other issues.

UNSPSC 93142201 Accommodation service for youth in need (Commodity) encompasses residential and placement services for vulnerable populations, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of housing and support services for adults and specialized populations rather than youth alone. County health and social services departments, local boards of commissioners, and regional public health agencies are the primary issuing bodies, typically seeking nonprofits or licensed service providers to deliver wrap-around residential and stabilization services under Housing First and trauma-informed frameworks. Scope ranges from emergency shelter and interim housing placements for adults experiencing homelessness with serious mental illness, to representative payee services helping adults manage finances and achieve independent living, to in-home respite care for families with disabled or developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, to congregate and home-delivered meal services for seniors. Across these solicitations, the code reflects procurement of time-limited residential stabilization combined with case management, behavioral health services, and basic life-skills support designed to move participants toward permanent housing, financial independence, or caregiver relief.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Colorado. Solano County's Department of Health and Social Services posted an RFP in July 2026 for a $1.2 million Year 1 interim shelter and housing placement program serving up to 50 participants with serious mental illness, with interviews scheduled for the week of July 20, 2026 and contract start targeted for October 1, 2026. Hillsborough County, Florida Board of County Commissioners issued an IFB in June 2026 for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years, requiring bidders to be licensed caterers on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program Caterer List. Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Department of Health and Human Services issued an RFP in April 2026 for representative payee services for up to 90 adults with severe mental illness, with a one-year term and four optional renewal years. Boulder County Public Health in Colorado solicited in March 2026 for in-home respite care providers serving up to nineteen families with disabled or developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, with a contract cap of $28,500 and an average expenditure of $1,500 per family.
