For Healthcare Recipients of the National Product Catalogue product data UNSPSC v25 is now required. This must replace any v15 or v19 codes that may already exist.
The United Nations Standard Products and Services Code® (UNSPSC®), managed by GS1 US™ is an open, global, multi-sector standard for efficient, accurate classification of products and services.
UNSPSC is an efficient, accurate and flexible classification system for achieving company-wide visibility of spend analysis, as well as enabling procurement to deliver on cost-effectiveness demands and allowing full exploitation of electronic commerce capabilities. Encompassing a five level hierarchical classification code set, UNSPSC enables expenditure analysis at grouping levels relevant to your needs. You can drill down or up the code set to see more or less detail as is necessary for business analysis.
Many of the v19 codes are still valid in version 25
