UNSPSC 85872008: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral vertebral arteries using high 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 high 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 B32G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85872008 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral vertebral arteries using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific radiological imaging procedure, yet the three recent opportunities span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS implementation), special education contracted services (speech, occupational, and physical therapists), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The mismatch indicates that state and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities under this code that involve imaging-related services or health professional deployment rather than the discrete imaging procedure the code name specifies. The issuing bodies are a county hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system — spanning both direct health care delivery and education sectors.

Recent activity centers on California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system) posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS with proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026) across multiple categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, establishing a qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed volume. Birdville Independent School District in Texas posted an ITB on September 18, 2026 for special education contracted services (due October 21, 2026), including speech language therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy across 30 campuses. The code shows fragmented recent activity with limited direct relevance to the imaging procedure the code name describes, suggesting misclassification in procurement office tagging systems rather than sustained demand for the specific service.
