UNSPSC 85873924: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right pulmonary vein using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right pulmonary vein 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 B52Q1ZZ

UNSPSC 85873924 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right pulmonary vein using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the narrow clinical description. The three posted opportunities—a San Mateo County hospital's Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) platform selection, a Texas school district's special education staffing, and a Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool—span healthcare IT infrastructure, K–12 services contracting, and clinical labor staffing, none of which constitute the specific pulmonary imaging service the code name implies. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these opportunities.

Recent activity originates from California county health systems (San Mateo and Santa Clara) and a Texas school district, with response dates clustered in late October 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) seeks enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with five-year agreement term and 30-point evaluation weight assigned to project approach. The County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary health professional categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, explicitly excluding nursing and physician roles. The mismatch between the code's stated scope (a specific CT procedure using contrast media) and actual recent opportunities (system platforms and staffing services) indicates either data-entry error at the issuing jurisdictions or misalignment in how this particular code is being applied to broader healthcare procurement. Firms pursuing opportunities in this code's recent posting history should verify the actual scope independently rather than relying on the Commodity code designation.
