UNSPSC 85266004: Diagnosis of hypokalaemia

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Hypokalaemia. Hypokalaemia 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 E87. 6

UNSPSC 85266004 Diagnosis of hypokalaemia is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—reflect broader health system and educational service procurement rather than the specific diagnostic laboratory test or clinical service implied by the code's nominal scope. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation (RFP, due October 21, 2026) centers on enterprise radiology and imaging infrastructure, the Birdville ISD opportunity (competitive sealed proposal, due October 21, 2026) covers on-call special education professionals including audiologists and therapists, and the Santa Clara Health System vehicle (RFQ, due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. None of these directly procure potassium-level diagnostic testing or related laboratory services, suggesting the code may be misapplied to these opportunities or that state and local entities are not actively soliciting under this Commodity code for its intended scope.

The issuing bodies are a county public hospital system (San Mateo), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and a large regional health authority (Santa Clara County), spanning California and Texas. The geographic spread is limited to California and Texas based on recent postings. No repeat buyers appear across the three opportunities. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical diagnostic focus and the actual scope of recent opportunities, procurement professionals should treat this code as showing minimal relevant recent activity for potassium-level testing services or closely related diagnostics, and monitor whether future postings from county health systems and hospitals will reflect direct laboratory or diagnostic service procurement under this classification.
