UNSPSC 85293210: Diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy 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 H36. 0

UNSPSC 85293210 Diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy is a Commodity code that, as tagged in recent state and local opportunities, describes diagnostic imaging services and equipment procurement related to visual health screening and clinical diagnostics. The recent solicitations under this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying activity: two of the three opportunities involve broader health professional staffing and diagnostic imaging infrastructure rather than diabetic retinopathy screening specifically. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system covers enterprise radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration and migration from a legacy system, supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually. The County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Audiology, and Ophthalmology services on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed volume. A third opportunity from Birdville Independent School District in northeast Texas solicits special education contracted services covering audiologists, diagnosticians, and vision evaluators, which relates only tangentially to the diabetic retinopathy code.

Recent activity under this code is sparse and geographically limited. The most substantive opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation RFP with proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration, 99.9% system uptime, and nine- to twelve-month implementation within a five-year agreement term, with a local preference of 5–10% for San Mateo County businesses under County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor-pool RFQ, with proposals due October 7, 2026, targets diagnostic imaging and related ancillary staffing across Northern California. The code shows limited recent engagement from school districts or other municipal issuing bodies; the Birdville ISD opportunity is tangential. Issuing bodies present include county health systems and a public hospital, with no standout pattern of repeat buyers. Geographic concentration in California reflects the two health-system opportunities; the Texas school district represents an outlier in scope relevance.
