UNSPSC 85408501: Diagnosis of balanced translocation and insertion in normal individual

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Balanced translocation and insertion in normal individual. Balanced translocation and insertion in normal individual 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 Q95. 0

UNSPSC 85408501 Diagnosis of balanced translocation and insertion in normal individual is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The three most recent solicitations — a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing services from Santa Clara County Health System — involve clinical information technology implementation, educational support services, and health professional staffing, respectively. None of these opportunities involve genetic or cytogenetic diagnostics related to balanced translocations or chromosomal insertions. The code's nominal scope (laboratory-based diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities in individuals without clinical symptoms) does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities are being tagged or minimal genuine activity under the code's intended scope. No recent opportunities sourced for this code are relevant to genetic diagnostic services. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for transactional purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing genetic or cytogenetic diagnostic services contracts with public health systems or state laboratories.
