UNSPSC 85211706: Diagnosis of shigellosis due to shigella flexneri

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Shigellosis due to Shigella flexneri. Shigellosis due to Shigella flexneri is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as a four digit category under code A03. 1

UNSPSC 85211706 Diagnosis of shigellosis due to shigella flexneri is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and a temporary health professional staffing pool from Santa Clara County Health System—span medical device procurement, K–12 education services, and healthcare workforce staffing. None of these solicitations relate to shigella flexneri laboratory diagnostics, infectious disease testing, or clinical microbiology services that would logically fit the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or use of the commodity code as a catch-all placeholder for health-related procurement activity without topical relevance to the specific diagnosis named.

The issuing bodies reflect diverse state and local health and education systems—a county hospital operator, an independent school district, and a county health authority—but the recent opportunities show no pattern of repeated procurement under this code, no geographic concentration, and no substantive activity in laboratory diagnostics or infectious disease services. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for practical business development purposes and verify the actual commodity intent with the issuing office before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
