UNSPSC 85872124: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left lower extremity 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 left lower extremity 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 B42G1ZZ

UNSPSC 85872124 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left lower extremity arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show misalignment between the code's clinical-procedure scope and actual purchasing activity. The three recent solicitations tagged under this code span enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, portable ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which directly correspond to the narrow CT angiography procedure the code describes. San Mateo Medical Center (California) is procuring an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration; Collier County (Florida) is single-sourcing EchoNous ultrasound equipment and iOS software licensing; and the Albuquerque Police Department (New Mexico) is seeking on-call phlebotomy technicians for blood draw services. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for its stated scope.

Geographic spread across recent activity includes California, Florida, and New Mexico, with issuing bodies spanning a county health system, a county procurement division, and a municipal police department. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due August 7, 2026) represents the largest procurement signal, requiring vendor qualifications in PACS implementations integrated with EPIC within the past five years, public sector or large health system experience, and competitive evaluation weighted 30 points to project approach, 25 points to firm qualifications, 20 points to team qualifications, and 25 points to price; a local preference of 5–10% is available under San Mateo County ordinance for local businesses and small or micro businesses. The mismatch between the code's medical-procedure focus and the purchasing activity across system integration, equipment procurement, and clinical services indicates the code may be miscategorized in current state and local procurement tagging, limiting its utility for tracking imaging-service or CT-specific opportunities.
