UNSPSC 85223602: Diagnosis of taenia saginata taeniasis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Taenia saginata taeniasis. Taenia saginata taeniasis 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 B68. 1

UNSPSC 85223602 Diagnosis of taenia saginata taeniasis is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source contains no recent opportunities for diagnostic services, testing, or clinical evaluation related to taeniasis or other parasitic infections that would map to this code's intended purpose. Instead, the most recent opportunities tagged to this code concern diagnostic imaging systems, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which relate to taenia saginata diagnosis or parasitic disease management. This mismatch suggests either a data-coding error in how opportunities were classified or that the code sees little genuine state and local procurement activity in its actual specialty area.

The opportunities present in the source reflect broader health system and education procurement activity unrelated to the code's stated function. San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a diagnostic imaging PACS system (RFP due October 21, 2026) for radiology and cardiology imaging; Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services including audiology, psychology, and therapy (RFQ due October 21, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (RFQ due October 7, 2026). These solicitations span California and Texas but do not reflect procurement demand for parasitic disease diagnosis. State and local buyers pursuing this code should verify whether their procurement databases correctly classify opportunities before allocating business development resources to this category.
