UNSPSC 85252518: Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the brain stem

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Malignant neoplasm on the Brain stem. Malignant neoplasm on the Brain stem 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 C71. 7

UNSPSC 85252518 Diagnosis of malignant neoplasm on the brain stem is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System deployed by a county hospital system), special education contracted services (audiologists, diagnosticians, speech therapists, and related roles), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and audiology. The code's apparent mismatch with actual procurement activity suggests either broad tagging or classification drift — the solicitations target support infrastructure, staffing capacity, and ancillary clinical services rather than specific diagnostic procedures for brain stem malignancies.

The issuing bodies span county-level health systems and school districts across California and Texas. San Mateo County's hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center) posted an RFP for enterprise PACS implementation due October 21, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services, due October 7, 2026; and Birdville Independent School District (northeast Tarrant County, Texas) solicited special education contracted services due October 21, 2026. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with no clear evidence of repeat buyers or sustained procurement momentum under this particular code. The sparse and divergent nature of recent postings suggests this code may not be the primary vehicle for state and local procurement of brain stem diagnostic services or related clinical activity.
