UNSPSC 85456202: The diagnosis of need for assistance with personal care

In this classification, this covers the group of activities that yields a diagnosis of need for assistance with personal care. Need for assistance with personal care 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 Z74.1.

UNSPSC 85456202 "The diagnosis of need for assistance with personal care" is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations describes clinical assessment and staffing services for health systems and school districts, not personal-care diagnostics as the code name suggests. State and local governments procure temporary clinical personnel and specialized health professional staffing across diagnostic imaging, audiology, cardiology, orthopedics, therapy services, and allied health roles to supplement permanent staff and support specialized service delivery. School districts also solicit contracted special education diagnostic and clinical services including speech language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychology, and behavioral health assessments on an as-needed basis. Issuing bodies include county health systems, public hospitals, independent school districts, and health department facilities. The mix spans urban counties and suburban school districts in regions with significant healthcare infrastructure.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in California and Texas. Santa Clara County Health System posted a nonexclusive multiple-award qualification pool (RFQ 01027, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging, audiology, cardiology, orthopedics, and therapy services with no guaranteed volume and a five-year qualified list. San Mateo Medical Center (RFP 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) solicited diagnostic imaging PACS implementation, which falls outside the code's nominal scope of personal-care diagnostics and suggests possible misclassification in procurement systems. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas (IFB 01027, due October 21, 2026) sought competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services across 23 line items including diagnosticians, dyslexia evaluators, speech language therapists, occupational therapists, and board certified behavior analysts, with a cost-price baseline of $398,494.30 and a contract term from December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027, plus three optional one-year renewals.
