UNSPSC 85871636: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of thoracic aorta

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of thoracic aorta. 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 B320ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871636 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of thoracic aorta is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services—none of which constitute CT scanning of the thoracic aorta or direct imaging services matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this code broadly to medical diagnostic and imaging-related purchases rather than to the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span three issuing bodies: San Mateo Medical Center (California) posted an RFP for enterprise-grade PACS implementation on July 9, 2026, due August 7, 2026, supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime requirements, and a nine-to-twelve-month implementation window; Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single source ultrasound equipment from EchoNous, Inc., posted April 1, 2026; and the Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services across Bernalillo County on January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026, with an anticipated volume of 300 annual calls. No standardized repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity pattern emerges from these three records. The code shows sparse recent activity under its literal definition; pursuit should account for the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the imaging and diagnostic services actually being solicited.
