UNSPSC 85872118: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries using other 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 B42HYZZ

UNSPSC 85872118 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lower extremity arteries using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope—diagnostic imaging procedures performed on patients—and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code involve system infrastructure, equipment procurement, and ancillary services rather than clinical CT imaging procedures themselves. San Mateo Medical Center (California) is soliciting proposals for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with comprehensive radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging capabilities and EPIC EHR integration; Collier County, Florida, is pursuing a single-source procurement of ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB Probe) and related software licensing; and the Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico, is requesting bids for on-call blood draw services provided by certified phlebotomy technicians. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement services, and municipal law enforcement, reflecting fragmented demand across different public sectors rather than unified hospital or imaging departments.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, and New Mexico based on the recent opportunities. The San Mateo County RFP (due August 7, 2026) is the most directly relevant to imaging infrastructure, with evaluation weighted 30 points on project approach, 25 points on firm qualifications, 20 points on team qualifications, and 25 points on price; the procurement requires EPIC integration experience, HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance, and a nine- to twelve-month implementation within a five-year agreement term. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure focus and the actual procurement activity suggests this classification may be incorrectly applied to these solicitations, and vendors pursuing imaging-related work should verify scope alignment directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on code assignment alone.
