UNSPSC 85211802: Diagnosis of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli infection

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection 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 A04. 1

UNSPSC 85211802 Diagnosis of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli infection is a Commodity code whose recent activity shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope — laboratory diagnostic testing for a specific bacterial pathogen — and the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass diagnostic imaging PACS implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, and therapy services. None of these opportunities directly address enterotoxigenic E. coli diagnostics; the code appears to be capturing a broad set of clinical and health-system service procurement that state and local health authorities are classifying under this taxonomy designation without alignment to the code's stated product or service line.

Recent activity spans California and Texas health systems. San Mateo County, California is procuring a diagnostic imaging PACS system from San Mateo Medical Center with an RFP due October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration and supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas is soliciting special education contracted services — including audiologists, diagnosticians, and licensed specialists in school psychology — on an as-needed basis through November 30, 2027, with proposals due October 21, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services, with an RFQ closing October 7, 2026. The issuing bodies are a county public hospital system, a school district, and a county health authority. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated diagnostic function; the procurement pattern suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a taxonomy mapping issue that warrants clarification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
