UNSPSC 85224304: Diagnosis of mixed pediculosis and phthiriasis

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Mixed pediculosis and phthiriasis. Mixed pediculosis and 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. 4

UNSPSC 85224304 Diagnosis of mixed pediculosis and phthiriasis is a Commodity code with little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes parasitic infestation diagnosis, yet the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging systems (PACS implementation), school district special education contracting, and health system temporary staffing services—none of which concern pediculosis or phthiriasis diagnosis. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the solicitation data or that this code is rarely if ever used by state and local buyers for its actual scope.

No state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal purpose appears in the recent-opportunities block. The tagged opportunities reflect unrelated clinical and administrative service lines at San Mateo County health operations, Birdville Independent School District (Texas), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Given the absence of genuine pediculosis or phthiriasis diagnosis solicitations, this code does not represent an active procurement category for state and local government at this time.
