UNSPSC 85822311: Measurement of respiratory flow, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of respiratory flow, 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 4A0975Z

UNSPSC 85822311 Measurement of respiratory flow via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code covering pulmonary function testing and related respiratory assessment services that state and local health agencies, corrections departments, and public health authorities procure for occupational health screening, inmate medical programs, and occupational compliance testing. Recent state and local solicitations show the code applied to diverse clinical contexts ranging from firefighter fitness-for-duty evaluations to EMS provider screening to inmate health programs, though several posted opportunities appear tangentially related to respiratory measurement alone and may reflect broad tagging of occupational health services rather than discrete pulmonary function testing procurements.

The issuing bodies span occupational health programs (counties and cities), state health and human services agencies, public hospital systems, and emergency services. Recent activity includes San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 solicitation for handheld retinal screening devices (which does not directly address respiratory flow measurement), the Illinois Secretary of State's August 2026 RFQ for respirator medical exams including pulmonary function tests for state employees at Chicago-area facilities, and Texas HHSC's July 2026 bid for radiology and EKG read services (also not focused on respiratory measurement). Geographic spread spans California, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Florida, and other states with active occupational health and inmate healthcare procurement activity. No recent opportunities explicitly centered on pulmonary function testing or respiratory flow measurement as the primary deliverable are clearly present in the source; the code appears underutilized or broadly tagged across occupational health categories that include but are not limited to respiratory assessment.
