UNSPSC 85215903: Diagnosis of spotted fever due to rickettsia rickettsii

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Spotted fever due to Rickettsia rickettsii. Spotted fever due to Rickettsia rickettsii 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 A77. 0

UNSPSC 85215903 Diagnosis of spotted fever due to rickettsia rickettsii is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The code appears designed to describe clinical laboratory diagnostic testing for a specific rickettsial infection, yet the three most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging system procurement (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services across multiple disciplines (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involve diagnosis of spotted fever or rickettsial disease testing. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the issuance diversity—a county hospital system, a school district, and a health system—reflects different sectors entirely rather than a coherent procurement pattern under the code's clinical-diagnostics intent. No representative opportunities targeting the actual scope of spotted fever diagnosis testing appear in the recent record.
