UNSPSC 85275402: Diagnosis of moderate mental retardation significant impairment of behaviour requiring attention or treatment

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Moderate mental retardation on the significant impairment of behaviour requiring attention or treatment. Moderate mental retardation on the significant impairment of behaviour requiring attention or treatment 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 F71. 1

UNSPSC 85275402 Diagnosis of moderate mental retardation significant impairment of behaviour requiring attention or treatment (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement right now. The code's name refers to diagnostic and behavioral assessment services for individuals with developmental disabilities, yet the three recent opportunities tagged to this code cover diagnostic imaging systems (Picture Archiving and Communication System procurement), special education contracted services (evaluators, therapists, and behavioral analysts), and temporary health professional staffing pools (radiology, audiology, cardiology, and other ancillary clinical roles). Only the second opportunity—Birdville Independent School District's special education services RFP—shows tangential relevance to the code's nominal scope, including board-certified behavior analysts and diagnosticians. The other two opportunities (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS system and Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing vehicle) have no clear connection to developmental disability diagnosis or behavioral assessment and appear to be misclassified.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity span a county health system, a county hospital operator, and an independent school district across California and Texas. Geographic activity appears limited to the West Coast and Texas, with no evidence of broader national activity. The Birdville ISD special education services RFP, due October 21, 2026, encompasses 23 line items including diagnosticians, board-certified behavior analysts, and licensed specialists in school psychology supporting 24,300 students across 30 campuses, with a 2025–2026 cost baseline of $398,494.30 and a term running December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 plus three optional renewal periods. Given the code's apparent misuse in recent postings, the actual volume of opportunities genuinely matching the code's developmental disability assessment scope remains unclear from this source.
