UNSPSC 85212304: Diagnosis of tuberculosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Tuberculosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue. Tuberculosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue 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 A18. 4

UNSPSC 85212304 Diagnosis of tuberculosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical diagnostic scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation by San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services procurement by Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle by Santa Clara Health System — none of which involve tuberculosis diagnostics or dermatological services. The code's nominal scope describes clinical pathology testing specific to cutaneous tuberculosis, but the recent solicitations do not reflect active state or local demand for that service category.

The geographic spread of activity under this code is limited to California and Texas based on the posted opportunities, with San Mateo County and Santa Clara County in California and Tarrant County in Texas represented. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS, due October 21, 2026, seeks enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation with EPIC integration to support approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually; Birdville Independent School District's sealed proposal request for special education contracted services, also due October 21, 2026, covers 23 line items of specialized school-based clinical services across 30 campuses; and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026, establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's tuberculosis-diagnostics designation and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local purchasing systems or that demand for dermatological tuberculosis testing through state and local procurement channels is currently dormant.
