UNSPSC 85871111: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of sella turcica/pituitary gland

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of sella turcica/pituitary gland. 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 B029ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871111 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of sella turcica/pituitary gland is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with diagnostic imaging services specific to this anatomical site. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader health system procurement: a county hospital system soliciting enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation; a school district requesting special education contracted services unrelated to imaging; and a county health system establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology. The code's abstract scope — a single specialized radiological procedure — does not match the work actually being bought. State and local issuers in these opportunities are a county hospital (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district (Birdville Independent School District), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Only one of the three opportunities is health-imaging-related, and that one addresses system infrastructure and staffing rather than CT scanning procedures on a specific anatomical region.

Recent activity shows California and Texas issuers. The San Mateo County opportunity, posted October 7, 2026 with response due October 21, 2026, is an RFP seeking PACS implementation with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and data migration from a legacy system, requiring vendor experience with PACS deployments in public sector or large health systems and HIPAA Business Associate compliance. The Santa Clara County Health System opportunity, posted July 7, 2026 with response due October 7, 2026, is a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary diagnostic imaging/radiology staffing and other ancillary clinical categories, with no guaranteed work volume. The code shows limited recent procurement activity directly targeting the specialized CT imaging procedure named in its definition; practitioners should treat this code as a weak signal for state and local opportunities and verify code alignment with actual issuing-body RFP language before pursuing.
