UNSPSC 85253903: Diagnosis of benign neoplasm on the ascending colon

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Benign neoplasm on the Ascending colon. Benign neoplasm on the Ascending colon 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 D12.2

UNSPSC 85253903 Diagnosis of benign neoplasm on the ascending colon is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code — a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement by San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services by Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing by Santa Clara Health System — do not align with the code's nominal scope of colorectal diagnostic procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these solicitations, which are focused on health information systems, school-based support services, and clinical staffing rather than gastroenterological diagnosis or screening.

Absent evidence of actual state and local demand for benign neoplasm diagnostic services under this code, firms evaluating procurement pursuit should treat this code as inactive for business development purposes. The mismatch between the code definition and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data quality issue in the underlying procurement database or organizational misclassification at the issuing bodies. Monitor this code for clarification or retag by the sourcing agencies; no representative solicitations warrant pursuit at present.
