UNSPSC 85273902: Diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Post-traumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder 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 F43. 1

UNSPSC 85273902 Diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three most recent solicitations—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement by San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services by Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and temporary health professional staffing by Santa Clara County Health System—involve medical imaging infrastructure, school psychology and therapy services, and ancillary health workforce staffing, respectively. None of these opportunities target PTSD diagnosis specifically or procurement of diagnostic instruments, assessments, clinical protocols, or PTSD-focused mental health services. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity scope.

The recent opportunities under this code span a state hospital system in California, a school district in Texas, and a county health system in California, suggesting the code may be misapplied or serve as a catch-all tag across disparate health and education procurements. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP due October 21, 2026 for a PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Birdville ISD issued an RFQ due October 21, 2026 for special education contracted services including diagnosticians, speech therapists, and occupational therapists across 30 campuses; and Santa Clara County Health System issued an RFQ due October 7, 2026 for a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in audiology, imaging, and therapy services. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests this code either is being used incorrectly by state and local procurement offices or has drifted from its original intent.
