UNSPSC 85871822: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral internal carotid arteries using low osmolar 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 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 B3281ZZ

UNSPSC 85871822 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral internal carotid arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it span a much broader scope: enterprise healthcare IT systems, special education staffing services, and temporary clinical workforce solutions. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedure-level name and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health and human services contracting rather than for the specific CT imaging protocol it nominates. State and local buyers using this code include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, Santa Clara Health System), independent school districts (Birdville ISD in Texas), and county departments. The issuing bodies signal diverse service lines—hospital imaging infrastructure, educational support services, and clinical staffing—rather than a coherent commodity family.

Activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Birdville ISD in northeast Tarrant County), though the sparse opportunity set limits confidence in geographic concentration. Recent solicitations include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (due October 21, 2026) supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies and requiring EPIC EHR integration with migration from legacy ScImage systems; Birdville ISD's RFQ for special education contracted services across 23 line items from audiologists to speech-language therapists serving 24,300 students (due October 21, 2026, with contract effective December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027); and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in 13 clinical and administrative categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Orthopedic, Surgical/Operating Room, and others, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope as a specific imaging procedure.
