UNSPSC 85871245: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right and left heart using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right and left heart 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 B2261ZZ

UNSPSC 85871245 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right and left heart using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to cardiac CT imaging services. The PACS solicitation involves enterprise imaging software and data migration; the special education solicitation covers audiologists, speech therapists, and behavior analysts; the staffing solicitation establishes a vendor pool for temporary clinical roles across radiology, cardiology, therapy, and other ancillary services. None of these opportunities request cardiac CT scans, imaging hardware, imaging protocols, or contrast delivery systems that would fall within the Commodity code's nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's stated definition and actual recent procurement activity suggests this code receives little relevant activity in state and local markets, or that issuing bodies are applying the code incorrectly to health services and staffing opportunities that should be tagged elsewhere in the UNSPSC taxonomy. State and local governments pursuing this code should verify the accuracy of code assignments in actual RFPs and RFQs before developing capability responses, as the current tagged opportunities do not represent a meaningful market for cardiac CT imaging services or supplies.
