UNSPSC 85224200: Diagnoses of peripheral helminthiases

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of peripheral helminthiases

UNSPSC 85224200 Diagnoses of peripheral helminthiases, a Class code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems (a PACS implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which relate to parasitic infection diagnosis. State and local governments are using this code to solicit medical diagnostic and laboratory services and equipment, but the actual work being procured spans enterprise imaging systems, point-of-care ultrasound platforms, and on-call blood draw services rather than helminthiasis-specific diagnostics. The issuing bodies include county public health systems and municipal law enforcement agencies, suggesting the code is being applied broadly to laboratory and diagnostic procurement without consistent alignment to its stated definition.

Recent activity appears across three jurisdictions with different procuring entities and service models. San Mateo County, California, posted an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system on July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, requiring enterprise integration with EPIC EHR, 99.9% uptime, and five-year agreement terms. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc. for ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB Probe) in a contract running March 26, 2026, to March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy services on January 26, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, seeking 24/7 coverage across Bernalillo County with an anticipated 300 annual service calls. The code shows minimal recent relevant procurement activity; the three opportunities appear to reflect miscoding rather than genuine demand aligned to parasitic disease diagnostics.
