UNSPSC 85822406: Measurement of respiratory capacity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement intervention or procedure to measurement of respiratory capacity, 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 4A09X1Z

UNSPSC 85822406 Measurement of respiratory capacity, external approach is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy lung function testing and related pulmonary assessment services under this code, including spirometry, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), and other external respiratory capacity measurements commonly performed in occupational health, urgent care, employee wellness, and respiratory screening contexts. Recent state and local opportunities show respiratory testing embedded in broader occupational health programs, employee wellness initiatives, and emergency response protocols rather than as standalone pulmonary function services. The Illinois Secretary of State procured respirator medical exams including pulmonary function tests; Chicago-area facilities required comprehensive testing for Building Engineers. The City of Phoenix sought cancer screening services for firefighting and first-responder personnel that incorporate lung CT and respiratory assessment. These opportunities reveal that respiratory capacity measurement is typically bundled with occupational health evaluations, pre-employment physicals, fitness-for-duty determinations, and specialized occupational screening for workers in hazardous environments.

Issuing bodies across this code span state departments (Illinois Secretary of State), county governments (Santa Clara County Health System), municipal health departments, and large-scale cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Geographic activity is distributed across Illinois, Arizona, California, Colorado, and Texas in recent opportunities. The Colorado Department of Human Services and Texas Health and Human Services Commission have issued multiple facilities-based procurements for clinical services that integrate respiratory testing. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office and county jails require occupational health services including respiratory assessment for detention and emergency responder personnel. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Secretary of State RFQ for respirator medical evaluations (due September 2, 2026) covering pulmonary function tests at three Chicago-area facilities; the City of Phoenix cancer screening RFP (due February 2, 2026, now past due) specifying low-dose lung CT scans and respiratory assessment for 14,000 municipal employees; and Sourcewell's cooperative vehicle for physical health products and services (due October 20, 2026) establishing multi-agency purchasing access. Activity is concentrated in state occupational health programs and municipal employee wellness procurement tied to first-responder and hazardous-duty occupations.
