UNSPSC 85252819: Diagnosis of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, alk-positive

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-positive. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-positive 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 C84. 6

UNSPSC 85252819 Diagnosis of anaplastic large cell lymphoma, alk-positive is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific hematologic malignancy diagnostic service, but the three most recent opportunities tagged under it span diagnostic imaging infrastructure, school-based special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern lymphoma diagnosis or oncology pathology services. The opportunities posted in July through October 2026 reflect procurement in medical imaging systems (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS replacement), educational support services (Birdville Independent School District's special education line items), and temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary categories (Santa Clara Health System's qualified vendor pool). These purchases do not represent diagnostic testing, laboratory services, oncology consultation, or pathology work that would fall within the code's stated scope.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code spans California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties), Texas (Tarrant County school district), and reflects issuing bodies including county health systems, a public hospital operator, and an independent school district. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement being tagged, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering lymphoma diagnostics, pathology services, or oncology-specific laboratory testing. Procurement professionals pursuing state and local opportunities in hematologic malignancy diagnostics should verify the actual UNSPSC coding of targeted solicitations rather than relying on this code's recent posting activity.
