UNSPSC 85414901: The diagnosis of hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature. Hypothermia, not associated with low environmental temperature 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 R68.0.

UNSPSC 85414901, a Commodity code nominally describing the diagnosis of hypothermia not associated with low environmental temperature, shows a significant mismatch between its abstract code name and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve hypothermia diagnosis or related clinical pathology services; instead, they span diagnostic imaging systems procurement, school district special education staffing, and health system temporary clinical staffing placement. The code appears to be misapplied by issuing bodies to capture broader health-related services and equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county health systems, independent school districts, and county medical centers — the mix reflects both clinical infrastructure investment and workforce supplementation across public health and education sectors.

Recent activity centers on California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (California county hospital) posted an RFP on October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026, for enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation with EPIC integration, targeting 65,000 annual radiology studies and requiring vendor experience with large health systems and PACS-EPIC deployments within five years. Birdville Independent School District (northeast Texas) issued a competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026, for special education contracted services across 23 line items including audiologists, diagnosticians, speech language therapists, and occupational therapists to supplement district expertise across 30 campuses serving 24,300 students, with a cost-price baseline of $398,494.30 and a contract term of December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. Santa Clara County Health System (California) opened a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, to establish a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging, radiology, cardiology, and therapy services, with no guaranteed work volume. The misalignment between code taxonomy and actual procurement scope suggests this Commodity code does not reliably capture health-related state and local purchasing; business development professionals should verify code alignment in submission guidelines before pursuing opportunities tagged to this number.
