UNSPSC 85871005 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of spinal cord is a Commodity code representing diagnostic imaging services and related systems procured by state and local healthcare providers. Recent opportunities indicate that issuers are acquiring enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) for radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with full electronic health record integration, data migration from legacy systems, and advanced visualization capabilities including 3D imaging and multi-planar reconstruction. The issuing bodies are public healthcare systems and county medical centers that operate hospital networks, outpatient clinics, and acute-care facilities serving multiple jurisdictions without regard for patient ability to pay. Solicitations emphasize vendor qualifications including successful PACS implementations integrated with major EHR platforms in the past five years, public sector or large health system experience, and references from comparable institutions.

San Mateo County, California has posted the most detailed recent opportunity—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (response due August 7, 2026), which covers enterprise implementation supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with requirements for 99.9% system uptime, 100 concurrent users minimum, 2–5 second image load times, nine to twelve month implementation, and a five-year agreement term. A local preference of 5–10% is available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Evaluation assigns 30 points to project approach, 25 points to firm qualifications, 20 points to team qualifications, and 25 points to price. Compliance requirements include HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, Living Wage Ordinance (minimum $17.00 per hour with annual CPI-U adjustments capped at 3.5%), and Section 504 accessibility assurance. The other recent opportunities posted under this code (Collier County, Florida's single-source notice for ultrasound equipment and Albuquerque Police Department's blood draw services RFB) are unrelated to CT or spinal cord imaging and do not reflect the code's nominal scope.
