UNSPSC 85822004: Measurement of cardiac electrical activity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of cardiac electrical activity, 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 4A02X4Z

UNSPSC 85822004 Measurement of cardiac electrical activity, external approach is a Commodity code that encompasses electrocardiographic services and related cardiac diagnostic procedures procured by state and local health systems, public hospitals, and behavioral health departments. State and local governments are using this code to solicit cardiac diagnostic and monitoring services for inmate populations, emergency medical systems, occupational health programs, employee wellness initiatives, and patient care within public medical facilities. The issuing bodies span county sheriffs' offices, state health agencies, public hospital systems, municipal health departments, and regional health authorities.

Recent solicitations show modest activity concentrated in specialized occupational health and correctional health contexts rather than broad cardiac screening. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited radiology and EKG read and over-read services across 11 state hospitals and 13 State Supported Living Centers statewide under solicitation HHS0017505, with responses due July 20, 2026 and a requirement for The Joint Commission accreditation and Medicare certification; the initial contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with three one-year renewal options. The City of Phoenix issued RFPPS260132 for cancer screening services covering 14,000 city employees with ancillary cardiac components including blood work and imaging, with proposals due February 2, 2026 and a five-year contract term commencing July 1, 2027. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, California, and Colorado, with scattered activity across Florida, Georgia, and Nevada. The code shows limited standalone cardiac-diagnostics procurement; most cardiac electrical activity measurement appears embedded within broader occupational health, emergency services, or comprehensive health screening contracts rather than as primary line items, suggesting procurement offices may tag mixed-service agreements with this code inconsistently or that dedicated EKG services remain a smaller revenue area within state and local budgets.
