UNSPSC 85333803: Diagnosis of diverticulum of appendix

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Diverticulum of appendix. Diverticulum of appendix 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 K38. 2

UNSPSC 85333803 Diagnosis of diverticulum of appendix (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve diagnostic imaging for appendiceal diverticulum or related gastroenterology pathology; instead, they encompass enterprise health information systems, school district special education services, and temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary disciplines. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, rendering it an unreliable signal for procurement targeting.

The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code originate from California and Texas health systems and a school district: San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) released an RFP on October 7, 2026 for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation with a due date of October 21, 2026, emphasizing EPIC integration and migration of existing radiology, cardiology, and mammography imaging data; the County of Santa Clara Health System released a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing in 13 ancillary health professional categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services; and Birdville Independent School District (BISD) in northeast Texas posted a competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services spanning audiologists, diagnosticians, dyslexia evaluators, and other specialized staff across 30 campuses. None of these opportunities relate to the diagnosis or clinical evaluation of appendiceal diverticulum. Business development professionals should treat this code as exhibiting minimal genuine procurement activity aligned to its stated commodity definition and verify code assignments independently before committing resources.
