UNSPSC 85404402: Diagnosis of congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of rectum without fistula

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of rectum without fistula. Congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of rectum without fistula 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 Q42. 1

UNSPSC 85404402, titled "Diagnosis of congenital absence, atresia and stenosis of rectum without fistula," is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed to classify a specific pediatric surgical diagnosis or related clinical service, yet recent opportunities tagged to this code cover diagnostic imaging systems, special education services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's stated clinical domain. The source provides no evidence of state and local governments actively procuring services or products related to the code's intended scope.

The three recent opportunities posted under this code span unrelated procurement categories and issuing bodies: San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital) soliciting an RFP for enterprise Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation with a due date of October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District in Texas issuing an RFQ for special education contracted services (audiologists, diagnosticians, therapists) with proposals due October 21, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool through an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. These opportunities suggest the code has been incorrectly applied or is being used as a catch-all for health-sector procurements without regard to the Commodity's actual definition. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its intended purpose and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to it.
