UNSPSC 85251903: Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the malignant melanoma of ear and external auricular canal

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Malignant neoplasm on the Malignant melanoma of ear and external auricular canal. Malignant neoplasm on the Malignant melanoma of ear and external auricular canal 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 C43. 2

UNSPSC 85251903 Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the malignant melanoma of ear and external auricular canal is a Commodity code whose name does not align with the work state and local governments actually solicit under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern malignant melanoma diagnosis. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual solicitations suggests tagging misalignment in the source data rather than a meaningful procurement market under this commodity classification.

Among the three records identified, issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System in California). The only opportunity with substantive alignment to diagnostic work appears in the San Mateo Medical Center RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation (due October 21, 2026), which concerns enterprise picture archiving and communication system procurement with EPIC integration — a health IT infrastructure buy rather than a diagnostic service line. The other two solicitations (special education contracted services and temporary health professional staffing) fall entirely outside the code's stated scope. Geographic activity touches California and Texas; no pattern of repeat buying or sustained procurement momentum under this code is evident from the available opportunities.
