UNSPSC 85436018: The diagnosis of air embolism following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of air embolism following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection. Air embolism following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection 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 T80.0.

UNSPSC 85436018 (Diagnosis of air embolism following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection), a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical name references a specific diagnostic condition, yet the three recent opportunities posted under it involve diagnostic imaging system implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to air embolism diagnosis or treatment. This appears to be a tagging error in the source data rather than a reflection of actual procurement under the code's intended scope.

The recent activity spans three distinct issuing bodies across different service lines: San Mateo Medical Center (a public health system in California) posted an RFP for a diagnostic imaging PACS implementation with proposals due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District (northeast Tarrant County, Texas) issued a competitive sealed proposal request for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing qualifications with a response date of October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose.
