UNSPSC 85436008: The diagnosis of traumatic air embolism

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of air embolism (traumatic). Air embolism (traumatic) 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 T79.0.

UNSPSC 85436008 Diagnosis of traumatic air embolism is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging system implementation (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS procurement), school-based special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations directly address traumatic air embolism diagnosis or related clinical protocols; the code appears to have been misapplied or used as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health-related procurement. The opportunities do reflect state and local health systems, school districts, and county health authorities as issuing bodies, but they do not substantively demonstrate a market for the specific diagnostic service the code nominally describes.

The three recent opportunities span California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with response dates between October 7 and October 21, 2026. San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS with a due date of October 21, 2026, requiring enterprise-grade implementation with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and 9–12 month implementation. Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across ancillary clinical roles including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology. Birdville ISD issued competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026, spanning 23 service lines across 30 campuses. The code does not support a clear or coherent procurement signal for air embolism diagnosis specifically.
