UNSPSC 85111502: Parasitic disease prevention or control services

In this classification, this commodity indicates the activities required to prevent or control parasitic diseases

UNSPSC 85111502 Parasitic disease prevention or control services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure mosquito control, vector management, and related disease-prevention services. The City of Arlington, Texas recently posted an RFP for an annual requirements contract for mosquito control services due October 22, 2026, encompassing surveillance, trap catch, larviciding, adulticide application, reporting, and record keeping—work performed by qualified pesticide applicators and evaluated against guidelines from the American Mosquito Control Association, CDC, EPA, and state agricultural and health agencies. The issuing bodies pursuing this code span cities and counties; Arlington represents the primary recent activity identified under this specific commodity classification.

Recent activity centers in Texas, with the Arlington solicitation as the standout example under this code. The source material contains five recent state and local opportunities, but only the Arlington mosquito control RFP directly aligns with the code's parasitic disease prevention scope; the remaining four opportunities (temporary health professional staffing, community health improvement plan implementation, occupational health services, and clinical laboratory services) are tagged to the same code in the source records but represent health administration and clinical support rather than vector or parasite control work. This mismatch suggests either data-quality issues in the underlying state and local opportunity records or administrative coding misalignment at the issuing jurisdiction level. Procurement professionals should verify code alignment when evaluating opportunities sourced from state and local repositories, particularly when a code's stated scope diverges visibly from the work described in the RFP documents themselves.
