UNSPSC 85871825: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral common carotid arteries using intravascular optical coherence

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral common carotid arteries using intravascular optical coherence. 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 B325Z2Z

UNSPSC 85871825 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral common carotid arteries using intravascular optical coherence is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity directly aligned with that narrow scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure, school-based special education services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific carotid artery imaging procedure the code nominally names. The issuing bodies include a county public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), an independent school district in Texas (Birdville ISD), and a county health system (Santa Clara County Health System). The mismatch between the code's technical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error at the source or a code application that has drifted substantially from its intended use.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for a diagnostic imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, supporting 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with a five-year agreement term and 9–12 month implementation window. Santa Clara County Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026 (proposals due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, operating room, and therapy services, with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year Qualified List duration. The Birdville ISD opportunity, due October 21, 2026, covers special education services unrelated to imaging. Given the code mismatch, this code does not reflect reliable current procurement activity in medical imaging services.
