UNSPSC 85271700: Diagnoses of mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease

UNSPSC 85271700 Diagnoses of mental disorders due to brain damage and dysfunction and to physical disease is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement practice maps loosely to health professional diagnostic and clinical staffing services—particularly temporary and contract-based roles in hospital systems, county health departments, and school districts where specialized mental health, behavioral, and allied health assessments and interventions are needed. The code's nominal title does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited: recent opportunities show state and local buyers contracting for temporary diagnostic and clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, therapy services, behavioral analysis, dyslexia evaluation, and school psychology rather than disorder diagnosis narrowly construed. Issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara, San Mateo), independent school districts (Birdville), and hospital and clinic networks. The mix reflects both permanent clinical infrastructure needs (imaging system implementation) and flexible staffing models where districts and health systems maintain qualified vendor pools or award as-needed contracts to supplement permanent staff.

Recent activity appears primarily in California and Texas. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation with enterprise-grade radiology and cardiology imaging capabilities, 99.9% uptime requirements, and EPIC EHR integration, evaluated on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points); a 5–10% local preference applies under San Mateo County ordinance. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, posted a competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services across 23 line items including diagnostician, dyslexia evaluator, school psychologist, board certified behavior analyst, and therapy services, evaluated 55% on price, 20% on reputation and experience, 12% on quality, 12% on ability to meet needs, and 1% on historically underutilized business compliance. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including audiology, diagnostic imaging, therapy, and other ancillary clinical categories on a case-by-case basis.
