UNSPSC 85216616: Diagnosis of lassa fever

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Lassa fever. Lassa fever 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 A96. 2

UNSPSC 85216616 Diagnosis of Lassa fever is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect diagnostic testing for Lassa fever or viral hemorrhagic diseases. Instead, the code shows activity around medical imaging systems, ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — diagnostic modalities that fall outside the code's nominal scope. San Mateo Medical Center (California) solicited an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography with EPIC integration due August 7, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued a notice of intent to single-source ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform and TORSO-ONE USB Probe) from EchoNous, Inc.; and the Albuquerque Police Department (New Mexico) sought RFB responses for on-call blood draw services by certified phlebotomy technicians. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement divisions, and municipal police departments. Because the recent opportunities are plainly unrelated to Lassa fever diagnosis — a highly specialized viral testing function — this code shows no relevant activity for firms focused on infectious disease or hemorrhagic fever diagnostics.

The code records activity across California, Florida, and New Mexico, though the mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the work actually being solicited suggests either a tagging error in state and local procurement systems or a code that is infrequently used and attracting unrelated postings. The representative opportunities — San Mateo's PACS RFP (due August 7, 2026), Collier County's ultrasound single-source notice (posted April 1, 2026), and Albuquerque's phlebotomy RFB (due February 25, 2026) — reflect diagnostic infrastructure and service procurement, not laboratory testing for rare infectious diseases. Firms evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether recent postings reflect a genuine procurement pattern or a classification anomaly before committing business development resources.
