UNSPSC 85251619: Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the caecum

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Malignant neoplasm on the Caecum. Malignant neoplasm on the Caecum 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 C18. 0

UNSPSC 85251619 Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the caecum is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific clinical diagnostic procedure. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope — instead, they reflect solicitations for health information systems, special education services, and temporary clinical staffing. The opportunities show that state and local health systems are procuring diagnostic imaging infrastructure, ancillary clinical staffing, and education services rather than individual diagnostic procedures for a specific malignancy type. This mismatch suggests either a UNSPSC classification error in the source data or that the code is being applied to a broader category of health system procurement than its title indicates.

The three recent opportunities span California (San Mateo County Medical Center, Santa Clara Health System) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District), with response dates in October 2026. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (due October 21, 2026) supporting enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration across 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations. Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services (due October 7, 2026). Birdville Independent School District posted an RFP for special education contracted services (due October 21, 2026). The geographic spread and service diversity across these opportunities suggest minimal recent activity genuinely aligned with the code's stated scope.
