UNSPSC 85823601: Measurement of cardiac defibrillator, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a measurement device intervention or procedure to cardiac defibrillator, external approach. This measurement device 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 4B02XTZ

UNSPSC 85823601 Measurement of cardiac defibrillator, external approach is a Commodity code that state and local governments rarely or inconsistently procure under this specific classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope—diagnostic measurement of external defibrillators—and what is actually being bought, which spans telehealth services, nursing home operations, occupational health screening, psychological evaluations, cancer registry administration, and opioid settlement-funded treatment and prevention services. The issuing bodies include health plans, counties, cities, state departments, and regional authorities across California, Georgia, Nevada, New York, Colorado, and Florida, among others. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect inconsistent or incorrect UNSPSC classification rather than genuine procurement demand for cardiac defibrillator measurement services.

The apparent classification mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code as a catch-all or default category for health services and medical equipment procurement outside their primary focus, or that the tagging reflects administrative error rather than deliberate categorization. Recent opportunities include Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for virtual urgent care services (posted October 16, 2026, response due October 31, 2026), Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly operations (posted October 8, 2026, proposals due December 10, 2026), San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Cancer Registry Services (posted October 5, 2026, proposals due November 6, 2026), and multiple behavioral health, occupational health, and opioid treatment solicitations across Sedgwick County, Fairfax County, and other jurisdictions posted in July through October 2026. No recent opportunities under this code genuinely target external defibrillator measurement equipment, diagnostic services, or related product lines. Businesses pursuing state and local health care and medical services work should monitor higher-level Family and Class codes within the medical and health services taxonomy rather than rely on this Commodity code for market signals.
