UNSPSC 85408505: Diagnosis of individuals with marker heterochromatin

Individuals with marker heterochromatin 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. 4

UNSPSC 85408505 Diagnosis of individuals with marker heterochromatin is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of genetic or cytological diagnosis involving heterochromatin markers. The mismatch suggests either that the code is being misapplied by issuing bodies or that the opportunities in question are tangentially related through broader diagnostic service umbrellas rather than the specialized laboratory or clinical genetics work the code name describes.

The recent opportunities reflect activity across California and Texas health systems and school districts, but they do not support a consistent pattern of procurement under this code. San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system) is procuring a diagnostic imaging PACS system with an October 21, 2026 proposal deadline; Birdville Independent School District (Texas) is requesting competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services including diagnostician and speech language therapist roles, due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System has established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, with a proposal deadline of October 7, 2026. None of these solicitations specifically address genetic diagnosis, marker heterochromatin testing, cytological analysis, or the specialized laboratory services the code nominally covers. Without evidence of issuing bodies actively soliciting for the work the code name describes, this code does not appear to be a current pursuit opportunity in state and local procurement.
