UNSPSC 85271500: Diagnoses of dementia

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Dementia in Alzheimer disease

UNSPSC 85271500 Diagnoses of dementia is a Class code that captures diagnostic imaging and related clinical services, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show a mixed picture — some genuinely aligned with imaging-based dementia diagnostic capability (PACS systems, ultrasound equipment) and others tangentially related or unrelated (phlebotomy services for law enforcement). The code's nominal scope does not map cleanly to the work actually being bought. State and local health systems and law enforcement agencies are the primary buyers, with health care networks seeking enterprise diagnostic imaging platforms (PACS with EPIC integration, ultrasound systems with specialized probes) that support radiology, cardiology, mammography, and point-of-care clinical assessment, and a municipal police department procuring phlebotomy services for evidentiary blood draws. The mix is primarily county-level health authorities and municipal police departments rather than broader state procurement or school districts.

Recent activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico. San Mateo County Medical Center (California) posted an RFP on July 9, 2026 (due August 7, 2026) for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS with EPIC integration, requiring HIPAA compliance, 99.9% uptime, migration of 65,000 annual radiology studies and supporting cardiology and mammography workflows, and five-year implementation on a 9–12 month timeline; evaluation weighting 30 points to project approach, 25 to firm qualifications, 20 to team qualifications, and 25 to price, with a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County ordinance. Collier County, Florida posted a notice of intent on April 1, 2026 (deadline March 26, 2026) to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe and five-year warranty) without competitive bidding. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB on January 26, 2026 (due February 25, 2026) for on-call phlebotomy services — a procurement unrelated to dementia diagnosis — suggesting potential code-tagging misalignment within state and local procurement systems.
