UNSPSC 85871426: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of abdomen and pelvis using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of abdomen and pelvis 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 BW211ZZ

UNSPSC 85871426 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of abdomen and pelvis using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet the three most recent solicitations posted under this code concern PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) infrastructure, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve CT imaging services directly. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation, for example, requests a system to archive and retrieve radiology studies (including CT, mammography, and cardiology imaging) but does not procure CT scans themselves. The mismatch suggests either that the code has been misapplied by the issuing bodies or that the taxonomy does not cleanly capture the infrastructure and staffing arrangements health systems use to deliver imaging services. Based on the recent-opportunities block, this code shows little activity directly aligned with its nominal scope of CT imaging procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (San Mateo County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with the Santa Clara County Health System in California also active. Issuing bodies include county-operated health systems and hospital networks. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted October 7, 2026 with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, sought an enterprise-grade PACS supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually and requiring 99.9% uptime and EPIC integration. The Birdville Independent School District in Texas posted a competitive sealed proposal on September 18, 2026 (due October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services across multiple campuses, with a cost-price analysis of $398,494.30. The Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle on July 7, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. Business development professionals should verify code applicability with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted under this Commodity code.
