UNSPSC 85264405: Diagnosis of iron deficiency

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Iron deficiency. Iron deficiency 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 E61. 1

UNSPSC 85264405 Diagnosis of iron deficiency is a Commodity code that captures diagnostic and laboratory services state and local health systems acquire to support clinical evaluation of iron deficiency and related hematologic conditions. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent solicitations—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from Santa Clara Health System—do not reflect iron deficiency diagnosis procurement activity. The San Mateo and Santa Clara postings touch clinical ancillary services (imaging, audiology, respiratory care, therapy services) at the margins, but neither targets iron deficiency testing or diagnosis specifically, and the Birdville posting involves educational services entirely unrelated to the code's clinical focus.

The code shows little relevant recent activity grounded in what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under this UNSPSC designation. Without additional sourced opportunities that directly address iron deficiency diagnostic services—such as lab panel contracting, point-of-care testing equipment, or hematology screening procurement—the code does not support a clear characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or representative work patterns. Business development professionals evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether their target agencies are actively tagging iron deficiency diagnosis procurement with this UNSPSC number or whether procurement activity in this clinical domain is being classified under alternative codes or procurement vehicles.
