UNSPSC 85871821: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral internal carotid arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral internal carotid arteries using other 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 B328YZZ

UNSPSC 85871821 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral internal carotid arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect a much broader scope: health systems are procuring diagnostic imaging infrastructure, temporary clinical staffing across imaging and ancillary services, and enterprise picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) that support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging operations. The issuing bodies are public health systems and county healthcare authorities — San Mateo Medical Center, Santa Clara County Health System, and related safety-net hospital networks — supplemented by school districts sourcing specialized evaluators and therapists for special education programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal procedure-specific scope and the infrastructure and staffing work actually being solicited suggests the code functions as a catch-all tag for health-sector diagnostic and ancillary services rather than a precise commodity classifier.

California dominates recent activity: San Mateo County Medical Center posted a Diagnostic Imaging PACS RFP (solicitation 660002526251, due October 21, 2026) seeking enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration to support approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, migration of existing imaging data, and 99.9% uptime requirements; and Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, audiology, and therapy services, with no guaranteed volume. A Texas school district — Birdville Independent School District — posted a special education contracted services RFQ (01027, due October 21, 2026) covering 23 line items including audiologists, speech language therapists, and occupational therapists across 30 campuses, with estimated annual spend of $398,494.30 and a contract term through November 2027 with renewal options. The code shows limited recent activity and its use across procedures, infrastructure procurement, staffing, and special education services indicates inconsistent tagging practice by state and local issuing bodies.
