UNSPSC 85214404: Diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Toxic shock syndrome. Toxic shock syndrome 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 A48. 3

UNSPSC 85214404 Diagnosis of toxic shock syndrome is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it diverge substantially from the code's nominal scope. The three opportunities on file show no purchases of toxic shock syndrome diagnostic services or related laboratory testing. Instead, the opportunities reflect misaligned tagging: San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for enterprise radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; Birdville Independent School District (BISD) is soliciting special education contracted services including audiologists, diagnosticians, and therapists; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical support. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose.

Because the opportunities posted under this code do not represent genuine purchases of toxic shock syndrome diagnostic services, decision-relevance is limited. The PACS solicitation from San Mateo Medical Center (RFP 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) represents diagnostic imaging infrastructure rather than a specific diagnostic procedure; the BISD special education services RFP (01027, due October 21, 2026) involves clinical evaluation services unrelated to infectious disease diagnosis; and the Santa Clara Health System's staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes temporary staffing pools across multiple clinical roles. A business development professional evaluating actual infectious disease diagnostic procurement should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignments with state and local procurement offices, as this code's recent record does not reflect its intended commodity scope.
