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 nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's literal scope. The three recent opportunities on record—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—span healthcare information technology, school psychology and therapy services, and clinical staffing across multiple disciplines. Only the San Mateo PACS solicitation touches imaging at all, and it addresses system infrastructure and software integration rather than CT scan services or procedures themselves. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect actual state and local buying activity in a narrow, procedure-specific form.

The recent opportunities originate from California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County school district), with no repeating issuing bodies across the three records. San Mateo Medical Center's PACS RFP, due October 21, 2026, requests proposals for enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation with EPIC integration, supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies plus cardiology and mammography imaging; Santa Clara Health System's RFQ, due October 7, 2026, qualifies temporary vendors for diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing among thirteen clinical categories; and Birdville Independent School District's sealed proposal, also due October 21, 2026, procures 23 line items of special education contracted services unrelated to diagnostic imaging. The code shows limited recent relevant activity for procurement professionals targeting thoracic or cardiovascular imaging services or related clinical procedures.
