UNSPSC 85213301: Diagnosis of cutaneous listeriosis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Cutaneous listeriosis. Cutaneous listeriosis 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 A32. 0

UNSPSC 85213301 Diagnosis of cutaneous listeriosis, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local contracting activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve diagnosis of cutaneous listeriosis—a bacterial skin infection requiring laboratory or clinical confirmation—and the opportunities span unrelated service lines that do not align with the code's narrow pathology focus.

State and local issuing bodies tagging procurement under this code include a county-operated medical center, an independent school district, and a county health system operating across California and Texas. Because the recent opportunities appear to be miscoded rather than genuinely targeting cutaneous listeriosis diagnostics, the code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development purposes. Vendors considering pursuit should verify coding accuracy with the issuing body before committing resources, as the tagged opportunities may signal either tagging errors in the source systems or a code with minimal genuine activity in state and local markets.
