UNSPSC 85221601: Diagnosis of pityriasis versicolor

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Pityriasis versicolor. Pityriasis versicolor 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 B36. 0

UNSPSC 85221601 Diagnosis of pityriasis versicolor is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — clinical diagnosis of a specific fungal skin condition — and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The three recent solicitations posted between July and October 2026 involve health system infrastructure and staffing rather than diagnosis or treatment of pityriasis versicolor. San Mateo Medical Center is requesting proposals for enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS implementation with EPIC integration; Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and therapy services; and Birdville Independent School District is contracting for special education services including audiologists, diagnosticians, dyslexia evaluators, and therapists. These opportunities reflect how state and local issuing bodies — county health systems, public hospitals, and school districts — are using procurement systems to source clinical infrastructure and temporary staffing rather than diagnosis or treatment services for a single dermatological condition.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County health systems) and Texas (Birdville ISD in Tarrant County). The issuing-body mix spans county health systems operating public hospitals and clinics, a school district with special education compliance obligations, and independent school districts. The closest hard date across the recent opportunities is the San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP with a due date of October 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM, requiring enterprise PACS implementation with 99.9% uptime, 100 concurrent-user support, EPIC integration, and data migration from legacy ScImage systems within 9–12 months. The code shows limited activity that is directly relevant to dermatological diagnosis; procurement professionals should verify whether this coding reflects a data-entry error or a state and local jurisdiction's broad application of the dermatology-specific code to related health-system procurement.
