UNSPSC 85253401: Diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Lobular carcinoma in situ. Lobular carcinoma in situ 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 D05. 0

UNSPSC 85253401 Diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three recent state and local opportunities posted under this code — a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation (San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — do not align with the code's nominal scope of pathology diagnosis for a specific breast cancer classification. The opportunities represent health information technology procurement, K–12 special services contracting, and clinical staffing, respectively, none of which directly correspond to lobular carcinoma in situ diagnostic procedures or related pathology services.

No state or local solicitations currently posted under this code target the clinical diagnostic services the code nominally describes. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify with individual issuing bodies whether they have applied the code to opportunities in error or whether their procurement systems use it differently than the national standard taxonomy suggests.
