UNSPSC 85871009: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced

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, unenhanced and enhancedcomputerized tomography (ct scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced. 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 B02B10Z

UNSPSC 85871009 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of spinal cord using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging service; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect direct purchasing of CT imaging services but instead encompasses broader health system infrastructure and staffing acquisitions. The three recent opportunities show state and local health authorities procuring diagnostic imaging systems, temporary clinical staffing, and special education services—work that may support imaging operations but falls outside the narrow scope of individual CT procedures. State and local health systems, county hospital networks, and independent school districts are the primary issuing bodies, with San Mateo County Medical Center, Santa Clara County Health System, and Birdville Independent School District appearing in the recent record. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding at the source level or use of this code as a placeholder within state and local procurement systems for health-related services more broadly.

Recent activity spans California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP on October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026, for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) to consolidate approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations with EPIC integration, local preference available at 5–10% for local or small businesses, and a five-year contract term. Santa Clara County Health System issued a multiple-award RFQ on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including diagnostic imaging and radiology services across the health system on an as-needed basis. Birdville Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP on September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026, for special education contracted services—a scope plainly unrelated to the CT imaging code. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition and warrants verification against actual procurement intent at the source agencies.
