UNSPSC 85213303: Diagnosis of listerial sepsis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Listerial sepsis. Listerial sepsis 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. 7

UNSPSC 85213303 Diagnosis of listerial sepsis is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under this specific clinical diagnostic category. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not align with its nominal scope: San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a diagnostic imaging PACS system (enterprise software and hardware for radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging); Birdville Independent School District is requesting special education contracted services including audiologists, speech language therapists, and board certified behavior analysts; and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services. None of these solicitations address laboratory diagnosis of listerial sepsis or the clinical microbiology services the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that listerial sepsis diagnostics are not a distinct procurement category in current state and local health system buying patterns. The issuing bodies span a county hospital system, a large independent school district, and a regional health system, but their posted work falls outside clinical laboratory diagnostics. Given the absence of relevant opportunities, this code does not present an actionable procurement signal for vendors offering laboratory diagnostic services in this specialty.
