UNSPSC 85873105: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of portal and splanchnic veins using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of portal and splanchnic veins 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 B52T1ZZ

UNSPSC 85873105 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of portal and splanchnic veins using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — CT scanning of abdominal vasculature — yet the three recent opportunities posted under it involve health system PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) infrastructure, school district special education contracted services, and county health system temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles. None of these procurements align with purchasing or delivering CT imaging procedures or contrast media. The opportunities span administrative health systems, public education, and public hospitals, but the code assignment appears to reflect cataloging errors rather than genuine procurement of the service the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include San Mateo County (operating a public hospital system), Birdville Independent School District in Texas (procuring special education services), and Santa Clara County Health System in California (establishing staffing vendor pools). The geographic spread covers California and Texas, with no recent activity supporting procurement of the actual service named in the code. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's defined scope and the work actually being solicited, this code presents minimal decision-relevant activity for vendors offering CT imaging services or contrast agents to state and local buyers.
