UNSPSC 85872007: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral vertebral 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 vertebral 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 B32G1ZZ

UNSPSC 85872007 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral vertebral arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code with a nominal scope that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations appearing under it. The three opportunities posted over the past six months—a diagnostic imaging PACS system RFP from San Mateo County, California; a single-source ultrasound equipment notice from Collier County, Florida; and an on-call phlebotomy services RFB from the City of Albuquerque, New Mexico—involve imaging system procurement, portable diagnostic equipment, and clinical support services rather than CT scanning procedures or contrast agents. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity and appears to be either misapplied in the source data or used inconsistently across jurisdictions for medical diagnostic and clinical services broadly rather than for the specific CT angiography procedure the code nominates.

The issuing-body mix spans a large urban county health system (San Mateo County Medical Center), a county government procurement division (Collier County), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department). Geographic activity is sparse and scattered across California, Florida, and New Mexico with no dominant procurement hub. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP, due August 7, 2026, represents the closest substantive opportunity under this code, seeking an enterprise imaging system to support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations with EPIC integration, nine to twelve-month implementation, a five-year term, and a 5–10% local preference for San Mateo County vendors. Without additional opportunities clearly aligned to CT angiography or contrast procurement, the code does not present a coherent procurement signal for firms pursuing this service line.
