UNSPSC 85409102: Diagnosis of congenital absence, atresia and stricture of auditory canal or external

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Congenital absence, atresia and stricture of auditory canal or external. Congenital absence, atresia and stricture of auditory canal or external 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 Q16. 1

UNSPSC 85409102, Diagnosis of congenital absence, atresia and stricture of auditory canal or external, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (enterprise PACS systems), school-based special education services (including audiology as one of 23 line items), and temporary health professional staffing (audiology as one of 13 eligible service categories). The code's precise clinical focus — diagnosis of a specific congenital ear canal condition — does not match the breadth of what is actually being solicited. Issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System). The opportunities reflect procurement of support services and staffing rather than direct diagnostic procedures for the named condition.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system with a response date of October 21, 2026 (posted October 7, 2026), which requires enterprise-grade implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration and 99.9% uptime guarantees; Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026 (posted September 18, 2026), which includes audiology services among 23 line items across 30 campuses; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing posted July 7, 2026 with a response date of October 7, 2026, which lists audiology as one eligible category. The code itself reports no clear recent activity focused on the diagnosis of congenital auditory canal conditions.
