UNSPSC 85408203: Diagnosis of trisomy 21, translocation

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Trisomy 21, translocation. Trisomy 21, translocation 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 Q90. 2

UNSPSC 85408203 Diagnosis of trisomy 21, translocation (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The code nominally describes genetic diagnostic testing for Down syndrome, but the recent solicitations posted under this code cover unrelated health system infrastructure and staffing services — diagnostic imaging systems, special education services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve trisomy 21 genetic diagnosis or laboratory testing. The source contains no recent state or local opportunities for actual genetic diagnostic services, prenatal screening, or related laboratory work under this code.

The three opportunities tagged to this code — San Mateo Medical Center's Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (RFP, due October 21, 2026), Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services (sealed proposals, due October 21, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFQ, due October 7, 2026) — are plainly unrelated to genetic diagnosis of Down syndrome. This suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local procurement. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of this code assignment before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
