UNSPSC 85409105: Diagnosis of congenital malformation of inner ear

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of Congenital malformation of inner ear. Congenital malformation of inner ear 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. 5

UNSPSC 85409105 Diagnosis of congenital malformation of inner ear is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara County Health System—do not align with the code's nominal scope of congenital inner-ear diagnostic services. San Mateo's PACS solicitation targets enterprise imaging infrastructure for radiology, cardiology, and dental studies rather than specialized auditory diagnostics; Birdville's RFP covers general special education services including audiologist services among many other line items but does not isolate inner-ear diagnosis; and Santa Clara's staffing pool includes audiology among thirteen ancillary clinical categories but does not specify congenital malformation diagnosis. The mismatch between code and actual scope suggests either tagging error or that jurisdictions are using this Commodity code as a catchall for health professional and imaging services with only tangential relevance to congenital inner-ear diagnosis.

The geographic footprint across the three records spans California (San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), with no clear concentration. Issuing bodies include a county hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system—diverse customer types but a thin sample. No recent opportunities specifically solicit diagnostic services, equipment, or expertise dedicated to congenital inner-ear malformation diagnosis. Professionals evaluating this code for pursuit should verify whether state and local buyers actually procure this specialized diagnostic service independently, or whether related opportunities remain untagged or are absorbed into broader imaging, audiology, or health professional staffing vehicles.
