UNSPSC 85871008: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast. 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 B02B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85871008 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that in practice maps poorly to recent state and local solicitation activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform), portable ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of spinal CT imaging with specific contrast media. The issuing bodies represent a mixed portfolio: a county health system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county government procurement office (Collier County, Florida), and a city police department (Albuquerque). The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for diagnostic and clinical services that do not fit more precisely within the UNSPSC hierarchy.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with a single solicitation in New Mexico. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP on July 9, 2026 (due August 7, 2026) for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, requiring vendor demonstration of prior PACS implementations with five-year client references and compliance with HIPAA, Living Wage Ordinance minimum of $17.00 per hour, and County intellectual property ownership. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent on April 1, 2026 to single-source EchoNous, Inc. for the KOSMOS ultrasound platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe, a 5-year warranty, and custom carrying bag, with a contract term running March 26, 2026 to March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB on January 26, 2026 (due February 25, 2026) for on-call phlebotomy services across Bernalillo County with 24/7 availability, one-hour response time, and anticipated annual volume of approximately 300 calls. This code shows limited actionable recent activity aligned with its stated scope and warrants verification against the actual commodity classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
