UNSPSC 85251622: Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the hepatic flexure

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Malignant neoplasm on the Hepatic flexure. Malignant neoplasm on the Hepatic flexure 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. 3

UNSPSC 85251622 Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the hepatic flexure is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-diagnostic scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System for a public health system), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, surgical services). The mismatch between the code's specific clinical-diagnosis label and the actual solicitation scope — which spans IT infrastructure, educational support services, and temporary staffing — suggests that state and local issuing bodies are applying this code to procurement activity considerably broader than the code's nominal definition.

The three opportunities originate from different issuing bodies and geographies: San Mateo County, California (San Mateo Medical Center, an RFP for diagnostic imaging PACS due October 21, 2026), Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County, Texas (an ITB for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System, California (an RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). California and Texas each contribute one or more recent opportunities. The code does not show sufficient thematic coherence around hepatic-cancer diagnosis or pathology services to serve as a reliable procurement signal for vendors pursuing that specialty; instead, the tagging suggests the code may be applied at state and local level to a range of health-system procurement covering imaging systems, clinical staffing, and educational support services.
