UNSPSC 85821401: Measurement of visual mobility, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of visual mobility, 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 4A07X7Z

UNSPSC 85821401 Measurement of visual mobility, external approach is a Commodity-tier code that encompasses clinical evaluation and measurement services for retinal function and visual field assessment, particularly handheld and portable diagnostic devices used in ambulatory and acute care settings. The code shows substantial recent activity spanning multiple issuing bodies and service contexts, though recent solicitations reveal divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement patterns—state and local buyers are acquiring both retinal screening device packages with integrated services and broader occupational health, employee wellness, and clinical diagnostics procurement, many of which are tagged to this code but operate across multiple clinical and administrative domains.

State and local governments acquiring under this code include county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), county behavioral health departments (Ventura County), state health authorities and departments (Nevada Health Authority, Colorado Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal health entities (City of Ocala, City of Phoenix), county sheriffs' offices and detention facilities (Boulder County, Jackson County), and regional health authorities (Inland Empire Health Plan). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's procurement of handheld retinal screening devices and services (RFP 660002627264, proposals due November 6, 2026), which specifies portable, battery-powered devices with wireless connectivity, EPIC EHR integration, and on-site training and support; Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services (RFI 2607426, responses due October 31, 2026), which frames telehealth-based evaluation and management including prescribing authority but is tagged to this visual mobility code despite covering general urgent care; and the Nevada Health Authority's PACE operations RFP (RFP 41NHA-S4038, proposals due December 10, 2026), which encompasses comprehensive senior care including vision services among many other components. Geographic spread is concentrated in California (San Mateo, Inland Empire), Nevada (statewide), Colorado, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia, Kansas, and other states. The code shows robust current purchasing activity with multiple overlapping service models—device procurement with service packages, comprehensive occupational and employee health programs, behavioral health and crisis services, and elder care bundled offerings—indicating that buyers are using this taxonomy flexibly to encompass visual assessment, occupational health screening, and broader clinical evaluation services rather than visual mobility measurement alone.
