UNSPSC 85221602: Diagnoses of tinea nigra

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Tinea nigra. Tinea nigra 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. 1

UNSPSC 85221602 Diagnoses of tinea nigra is a Commodity code that shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's description suggests dermatological diagnostic services for a specific fungal infection; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve medical imaging systems (PACS), ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services—none of which relate to tinea nigra diagnosis. State and local issuing bodies including San Mateo County (California), Collier County (Florida), and the City of Albuquerque (New Mexico) have posted solicitations under this code, but the work being procured bears no connection to the code's intended medical category. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code has been repurposed locally in a way that diverges from UNSPSC intent.

The three recent opportunities span different health care service lines with no unifying clinical relevance to tinea nigra diagnosis. San Mateo County Medical Center issued an RFP due August 7, 2026, for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Collier County posted a Notice of Intent on April 1, 2026, to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment; and the Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB due February 25, 2026, for on-call phlebotomy technicians. The geographic spread covers three states (California, Florida, New Mexico), with issuing bodies ranging from county hospital systems to municipal law enforcement. Given the absence of coherent recent activity actually aligned with tinea nigra diagnostics and the presence of unrelated medical procurement, this code does not present a viable market segment for business development purposes in its current application.
