This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Thoracic spina bifida without hydrocephalus. Thoracic spina bifida without hydrocephalusis 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 Q05. 6

UNSPSC 85401906 Diagnosis of thoracic spina bifida without hydrocephalus is a Commodity code that shows little alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical diagnostic focus does not map to the actual work being solicited under it in the source materials. Recent opportunities tagged with this code include a diagnostic imaging system procurement (PACS implementation), special education contracted services spanning 23 specialties from audiologists to vision evaluators, and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories. The work being bought is primarily staffing, systems integration, and service contracting—not diagnosis of a specific spinal condition. The issuing bodies are a county health system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and another county health system (Santa Clara County Health System). This mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement system or that the code has been broadly applied to health-service procurement without regard to its narrow clinical intent.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation (RFP, posted October 7, 2026, proposals due October 21, 2026) seeks enterprise imaging infrastructure with EPIC integration, supporting 65,000 radiology studies annually and requiring 99.9% uptime. The Birdville ISD solicitation (competitive sealed proposal, posted September 18, 2026, proposals due October 21, 2026) covers temporary specialized education services across 30 campuses on an as-needed basis with a December 2026 start and estimated cost of $398,494.30. Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFQ, posted July 7, 2026, proposals due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary categories with no guaranteed work. The code does not clearly reflect the actual procurement landscape for health services contracting and staffing that these opportunities represent.
