UNSPSC 85223502: Diagnosis of echinococcus granulosus infection of lung

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection of lung. Echinococcus granulosus infection of lung 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 B67. 1

UNSPSC 85223502 Diagnosis of echinococcus granulosus infection of lung is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes laboratory or clinical diagnostic services for a specific parasitic infection, yet the three most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it—diagnostic imaging PACS implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve echinococcus diagnosis or related parasitic disease testing. The mismatch suggests this code either receives infrequent use in state and local procurement or is being applied inconsistently by issuing bodies to capture broader health services categories that fall outside the code's intended scope.

The limited recent activity spans three jurisdictions across two states: San Mateo County (California) issuing an RFP for enterprise diagnostic imaging infrastructure due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District (Texas) issuing an RFP for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) issuing an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations explicitly address parasitic disease diagnosis or laboratory testing for echinococcus granulosus. Without recent opportunities that authentically reflect the code's nominal scope, pursuit decisions should focus on confirming with prospective issuing bodies whether this code is truly relevant to your service line or whether opportunities in clinical diagnostics, laboratory testing, or infectious disease services are being tagged under different UNSPSC classifications.
