UNSPSC 85821104: Measurement of olfactory acuity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of olfactory acuity, external approach. This measurement 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 4A08X0Z

UNSPSC 85821104 Measurement of olfactory acuity, external approach is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title suggests clinical olfactory testing services—the measurement of smell sensitivity or function—but the recent opportunities solicited under it span emergency medical services oversight, community health improvement, radiology and EKG reads, occupational and respiratory screening, perinatal care, mental health helplines, dental services, inmate healthcare, wellness clinics, background screening, and phlebotomy, none of which involve olfactory assessment or measurement. A handful of opportunities—occupational health examinations for state agencies in Texas and Oregon, medical monitoring for environmental workers in Illinois, and occupational screening for school districts—fall within occupational health domains that could tangentially involve respiratory or chemical exposure assessment; however, none explicitly reference olfactory acuity testing as a service line. The code shows no meaningful market signal for pursuit under its stated taxonomy classification.

State and local buyers issuing opportunities with this code span county public health agencies (Seminole County, Florida; Solano County, California), state health and human services departments (Texas, Oregon), school districts (Austin ISD, Northside ISD, Katy ISD), county sheriffs' offices (Collier County, Florida), municipal fire departments and EMS systems, and special-purpose authorities. Geographic activity is scattered across Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Nevada, with no concentration in any single region. Recent solicitations posted between March and July 2026 include Seminole County's RFP for an Emergency Medical Services Medical Director (due August 5, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services' IFB for radiology and EKG read services across 24 state facilities (due July 20, 2026), and the Texas Department of Agriculture's RFP for occupational health examinations (due July 3, 2026)—none of which procure olfactory measurement services. The code appears to carry administrative or classification artifacts rather than reflect active procurement demand for smell-sensitivity testing.
