UNSPSC 85212103: Diagnosis of tuberculosis of lung, confirmed histologically

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Tuberculosis of lung, confirmed histologically. Tuberculosis of lung, confirmed histologically 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 A15. 2

UNSPSC 85212103 Diagnosis of tuberculosis of lung, confirmed histologically is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The three most recent solicitations—a diagnostic imaging PACS system from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara County Health System—involve health information systems implementation, school-based clinical services, and ancillary health professional placements respectively. None directly addresses tuberculosis diagnosis or histological confirmation. The code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code spans California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the issuing bodies and work scopes diverge significantly from the code's stated subject matter. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for diagnostic imaging PACS with a response date of October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District posted a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code definition and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that the code is rarely used for its stated clinical purpose in state and local procurement.
