This 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 6A801ZZ

UNSPSC 85831701 Ultraviolet light therapy of skin, multiple is a Commodity code with minimal recent alignment to the stated scope. The five recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director oversight (Santa Monica Fire Department, California). None of these solicitations explicitly name ultraviolet light therapy or dermatological services as a primary deliverable or scope component. The code appears to have been applied to opportunities focused on broader healthcare administration, behavioral health, primary care delivery, and emergency medical services oversight rather than phototherapy or skin-directed clinical interventions.

Activity under this code is geographically distributed across Florida, Georgia, and California, with no concentrated regional demand evident. Recent solicitations issued by county health departments, county correctional systems, and municipal fire departments with response deadlines ranging from April to July 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement offices or a taxonomy-tracking issue that does not reflect genuine market demand for ultraviolet light therapy equipment or services. Business development professionals should verify primary code assignment before pursuing opportunities listed under 85831701, as the recent contracting record does not support active state and local procurement for the phototherapy services the code nominally describes.
