UNSPSC 85816319: Introduction of serum, toxoid and vaccine into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of serum, toxoid and vaccine into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach. This administrative intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 3E0334Z

UNSPSC 85816319 Introduction of serum, toxoid and vaccine into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes parenteral vaccine administration, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much broader scope of healthcare service delivery — from telehealth urgent care and EMS medical direction to occupational health screening and behavioral health crisis intervention. The code sees limited activity aligned with its vaccine-administration title; instead, issuing bodies across California, Georgia, Nevada, Colorado, and other states are using it to tag comprehensive medical services, nursing home operations, cancer screening, employee wellness platforms, and opioid treatment programs that bear no direct connection to vaccination delivery. Consequently, the code as currently deployed appears misaligned with its commodity definition and signals either mis-tagging by procurement offices or a systematic remapping of the code to encompass a wider family of state and local health services contracting.

State and local buyers posting under this code include health plans and regional authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), county governments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Brevard County, Florida; Rockland County, New York; Cobb County, Georgia; Forsyth County, Georgia; Seminole County, Florida), state agencies (Nevada Health Authority; Colorado Department of Human Services; Texas Health and Human Services Commission), cities (Atlanta; Phoenix; Ocala, Florida), behavioral health and public health departments, school districts, and transit authorities. Representative recent opportunities include Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations across Clark, Washoe, and rural Nevada counties (proposals due December 10, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for cancer registry services at San Mateo Medical Center (proposals due November 6, 2026), and Boulder County Sheriff's Office RFP for 24/7 emergency medical technician staffing at the county jail (proposals due October 26, 2026). Other visible opportunities span medical director services for EMS systems, occupational health and wellness offerings, psychological evaluation for public safety employment and assignment, and multisystemic therapy for youth behavioral health. Geographic activity is dispersed across California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, and the District of Columbia, with no single region dominant. The mismatch between the code's vaccine-administration nominal scope and the healthcare services actually being procured under it warrants clarification from state procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged with this code; respondents should verify alignment with their service lines against the specific solicitation language rather than rely on the code name alone.
