UNSPSC 85822310: Measurement of respiratory rate, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of respiratory rate, via natural or artificial opening. 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 4A097CZ

UNSPSC 85822310 Measurement of respiratory rate, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect respiratory measurement services but instead span a broad range of healthcare administration, staffing, and program management services including virtual urgent care, medical services contracts, occupational health evaluations, and behavioral health programs—none of which center on respiratory rate measurement as a core deliverable.

The mismatch between the code's stated definition and the actual work being procured suggests that either the opportunities have been incorrectly classified or the code is being used as a catch-all classification for general healthcare services at state and local agencies. State and local issuers using this code include county health systems (Inland Empire Health Plan in San Bernardino County, California; DeKalb County, Georgia), state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority), county medical centers (San Mateo Medical Center), sheriff's offices (Boulder County, Colorado), and a municipal employee health clinic (City of Ocala, Florida). Geographic spread is limited to the few recent opportunities in California, Georgia, Nevada, and Colorado, with no clear pattern of sustained activity. Representative recent solicitations include Inland Empire Health Plan's October 31, 2026 RFI deadline for virtual urgent care services delivery through board-certified physicians and the Nevada Health Authority's December 10, 2026 deadline for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations, neither of which involves respiratory rate measurement. Absent clear procurement activity specifically aligned to respiratory measurement services, this code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants close investigation into classification accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
