UNSPSC 85873147: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left pelvic (iliac) veins using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left pelvic (iliac) veins 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 B52G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85873147 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left pelvic (iliac) veins using high osmolar contrast, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow clinical specificity — a single diagnostic imaging procedure — does not match the broader health system solicitations currently posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code actually encompass enterprise diagnostic imaging systems, temporary health professional staffing pools, and school-based special education services, none of which constitute standalone CT imaging procedures of specific anatomical sites.

The most significant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) due October 21, 2026, which solicits comprehensive radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually — a system-level procurement distinct from the commodity-level CT procedure the code nominally describes. Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, establishes a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical support including diagnostic imaging and radiology specialists but does not procure imaging procedures themselves. Neither of the other two posted opportunities — Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services (October 21, 2026) and Santa Clara's broader staffing initiative — bears relation to diagnostic imaging. The code appears to reflect a data-tagging mismatch rather than active procurement of CT imaging services; state and local entities may be consolidating diagnostic service spend under inadvertently applied commodity codes rather than specifying procedure-level imaging procurement.
