UNSPSC 85215803: Diagnosis of typhus fever due to rickettsia typhi

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Typhus fever due to Rickettsia typhi. Typhus fever due to Rickettsia typhi 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 A75. 2

UNSPSC 85215803 Diagnosis of typhus fever due to rickettsia typhi is a Commodity code whose nominal scope bears little relevance to recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows no aligned solicitations for diagnostic services, clinical laboratory work, or infectious-disease testing. Instead, the three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System at San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services across a Texas school district, and temporary health professional staffing at a California county health system. These opportunities span disparate service lines unrelated to rickettsial diagnosis. The code's nominal taxonomy does not match the work actually being solicited.

Activity under this code comes from county health authorities, school districts, and public hospital systems in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for enterprise-grade PACS implementation with a response deadline of October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County, Texas, posted a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services with an October 21, 2026 deadline; and Santa Clara County Health System posted a multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or reserved for a narrow diagnostic category that does not currently generate measurable state and local procurement activity.
