UNSPSC 85402801: Diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Patent ductus arteriosus. Patent ductus arteriosus 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 Q25. 0

UNSPSC 85402801 Diagnosis of patent ductus arteriosus is a Commodity code that nominally covers diagnostic services for a specific pediatric cardiac condition, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its clinical scope. The three posted solicitations—a diagnostic imaging PACS system upgrade, special education contracted services spanning speech therapy through psychology, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories—bear no substantive relationship to patent ductus arteriosus diagnosis. The code shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity, and the opportunities present appear to reflect tagging misalignment rather than genuine market activity under this Commodity code's defined scope.

San Mateo County's San Mateo Medical Center, Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and Santa Clara County Health System are the issuing bodies among the three posted opportunities, but none of these solicitations target the diagnostic or treatment services this code describes. The absence of actual patent ductus arteriosus diagnostic opportunities—such as echocardiography services, specialized pediatric cardiac evaluation contracts, or diagnostic equipment procurements specific to congenital heart disease—suggests either sparse genuine procurement under this code or widespread classification misalignment in the state and local opportunities database. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat the recent postings as noise rather than signal and verify directly with health systems and pediatric specialists whether this code is actively used for relevant clinical services.
