UNSPSC 85432803: The diagnosis of poisoning by chloramphenicol group

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of poisoning: Chloramphenicol group. Poisoning: Chloramphenicol group 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 T36.2.

UNSPSC 85432803, The diagnosis of poisoning by chloramphenicol group, is a Commodity code whose scope and recent state and local procurement activity are misaligned. The code nominally describes clinical laboratory diagnostics for a specific drug toxicity — a highly specialized medical test — yet the three most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve diagnostic imaging systems procurement (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted clinical services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations address chloramphenicol poisoning diagnosis. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is used as a catch-all for health services procurement not elsewhere classified. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting chloramphenicol toxicity diagnostics as a standalone procurement category.

The geographic spread of the three recent opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system — representing a mix of direct health care providers and education agencies. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for enterprise PACS implementation with proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration and 99.9% uptime SLAs; Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services (diagnosticians, therapists, counselors) with a $398,494.30 cost-price baseline and proposals due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope of chloramphenicol poisoning diagnostics.
