UNSPSC 85351605: Diagnosis of cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of limb

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of limb. Cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of limb 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 L02. 4

UNSPSC 85351605 Diagnosis of cutaneous abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of limb is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems, school-based special education services, and health professional staffing — none of which align with cutaneous diagnostic services. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for clinical and health services rather than as a descriptor of dermatological or abscess-specific diagnosis work. The issuing bodies include county health systems, independent school districts, and county medical centers, indicating a broad mix of public health and education entities across different jurisdictions and service lines.

The geographic spread represented in recent opportunities spans California (San Mateo County Medical Center and Santa Clara County Health System) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County). Representative recent solicitations include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system due October 21, 2026, which requires enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation with EPIC integration; Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026; and Birdville ISD's sealed-proposal procurement for special education contracted services (audiologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and related disciplines) due October 21, 2026. Because recent activity under this code does not reflect the code's ostensible subject matter, evaluating pursuit requires clarification of whether your firm's service capability aligns with what these specific issuing bodies are actually procuring — health information systems, temporary clinical staffing, or school-based diagnostic services — rather than with the code descriptor itself.
