About UNSPSC 85821001

UNSPSC 85821001 Measurement of temperature via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a significant categorical mismatch: virtually all represent behavioral health, telehealth, medical staffing, occupational health, recovery services, wellness administration, and specialized clinical care unrelated to temperature measurement. Only the Illinois Secretary of State respirator medical exams (which include pulmonary function testing and asbestos evaluations) and the Texas HHSC orientation and mobility services contain clinical assessment elements, but neither centers on temperature measurement as a primary deliverable. The code does not show relevant current buying patterns.

State and local issuers across the dataset—health authorities, county health systems, fire departments, sheriff's offices, county departments of human services, school districts, and special districts—are actively procuring behavioral health services, emergency medical services, occupational health programs, telehealth and wellness platforms, and recovery-focused interventions. The geographic spread spans California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Nevada, Texas, Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, and other states, reflecting nationwide adoption of opioid settlement funding, behavioral health expansion, and occupational health compliance programs. Representative opportunities include Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for 24/7 virtual urgent care (due October 31, 2026); Nevada Health Authority's PACE operations RFP (due December 10, 2026); Boulder County Sheriff's Office EMT staffing RFP (due October 26, 2026); San Mateo County cancer registry and retinal screening device RFPs (due October 12 and November 6, 2026 respectively); and Sedgwick County's multiple opioid treatment and prevention RFPs (due September 15, 2026). This code, however, does not track material procurement volume in these sectors and warrants reclassification review or reassessment against the issuing agencies' actual categorization intent.
