UNSPSC 85872116: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries. 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 B42HZZZ

UNSPSC 85872116 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries is a Commodity code reflecting diagnostic imaging services and systems. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a mismatch: the code's nominal scope—CT scanning of lower limb vasculature—does not align with what is actually being solicited. Instead, health systems and public agencies are posting for enterprise-scale diagnostic imaging infrastructure (PACS platforms), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy support services. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in California is seeking proposals for an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration and migration from legacy systems. Collier County, Florida, issued a single-source notice for ultrasound equipment and accessories (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB Probe and iOS software licensing). The Albuquerque Police Department solicited on-call phlebotomy technician services for blood draws. The issuing bodies span county health systems, municipal police departments, and county procurement divisions—a fragmented buyer base with no clear repeat activity under this code in the recent window.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California, Florida, and New Mexico based on the three posted opportunities, with no indication of activity concentration across states. The San Mateo County RFP (due August 7, 2026) is representative of large-scope health system modernization, seeking vendors with proven PACS implementations integrated with EPIC, public sector experience, and five-year agreement commitments; evaluation weighs project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a local preference of 5–10% available for San Mateo County businesses and small or micro businesses. The code shows little recent activity with direct relevance to the CT imaging services named in its title, suggesting this category may be underutilized or misapplied by state and local procurement offices for broader diagnostic and clinical services.
