UNSPSC 85224303: Diagnosis of phthiriasis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Phthiriasis. Phthiriasis 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 B85. 3

UNSPSC 85224303 Diagnosis of phthiriasis is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not align with the code's nominal medical scope. The three posted solicitations address diagnostic imaging systems (PACS implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services—none of which concern diagnosis of lice infestation. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the posting system or a broad misalignment between this code's narrow definition and the way issuing bodies are tagging health care diagnostic and laboratory work. State and local buyers appear to be using this code to route diverse clinical diagnostic and specimen-collection services rather than its intended target.

The recent opportunities show activity across California, Florida, and New Mexico, with San Mateo Medical Center (California) posting an RFP for enterprise PACS implementation due August 7, 2026, Collier County (Florida) issuing a single-source notice for specialized ultrasound equipment with a March 26, 2026 submission deadline, and the Albuquerque Police Department posting an RFB for on-call phlebotomy services due February 25, 2026. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal law enforcement. However, given the code's stated definition and the absence of actual phthiriasis-diagnosis procurement, this code appears unsuitable for vendors serving the legitimate scope of work that the code nominally describes. Buyers pursuing these opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC codes with each issuing body before responding.
