UNSPSC 85213702: Diagnosis of whooping cough due to bordetella parapertussis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Whooping cough due to Bordetella parapertussis. Whooping cough due to Bordetella parapertussis 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 A37. 1

UNSPSC 85213702 Diagnosis of whooping cough due to bordetella parapertussis is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code — a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services RFP from Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from Santa Clara County Health System — are unrelated to the code's nominal scope of whooping cough diagnosis. The mismatch between the code classification and the actual work being solicited indicates either a data-entry error in the tagging of those opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these health system and school district buyers are categorizing their procurements. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical contracting purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any opportunity that appears to touch diagnostic services or health professional staffing.

No state and local contract opportunities substantively related to whooping cough diagnosis testing, equipment, reagents, or laboratory services appear in the available recent posting data. The code represents a narrow diagnostic procedure within a clinical microbiology scope and does not match the enterprise IT systems, educational staffing, or temporary health professional services being sought by California health systems and Texas school districts in the recent posting sample.
