UNSPSC 85412104: The diagnosis of abnormal sputum

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of abnormal sputum. Abnormal sputum is listed In The World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) as a four-character category under code R09.3.

UNSPSC 85412104 The diagnosis of abnormal sputum, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a fundamental mismatch: the code nominally describes diagnostic sputum analysis, but the three posted solicitations—a San Mateo County PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, a Collier County ultrasound equipment single-source procurement, and an Albuquerque Police Department phlebotomy blood draw services contract—involve imaging systems, ultrasound platforms, and specimen collection rather than sputum-specific diagnostics. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP targets enterprise PACS implementation with EPIC integration to support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations; the Collier County notice requests KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with a five-year warranty and custom carrying solutions; and the Albuquerque procurement seeks on-call phlebotomy technician services for approximately 300 annual blood draws. None of these directly addresses abnormal sputum diagnosis as the code's name suggests.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal law enforcement—a mix of hospital operators and service-oriented public agencies. Geographic activity appears scattered across California, Florida, and New Mexico with no concentration evident. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due August 7, 2026) requires vendors to demonstrate PACS implementations integrated with EPIC and large health system experience, with evaluation weighted 30 points to project approach, 25 to firm qualifications, 20 to team qualifications, and 25 to price; the Collier County single-source notice (deadline March 26, 2026, now closed) presented a notification period rather than competitive opportunity; and the Albuquerque RFB (due February 25, 2026, now closed) sought lowest-price phlebotomy coverage with 24/7 availability across Bernalillo County. The code appears to capture diagnostic procurements inconsistently, and state and local purchasers tagging sputum-related diagnostics under this Commodity may be rare or nonexistent in current activity.
