UNSPSC 85874854: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of paranasal sinuses using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of paranasal sinuses 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 B9221ZZ

UNSPSC 85874854 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of paranasal sinuses using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems (a PACS platform), ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy blood draw services—none of which match the specific medical imaging procedure named in the code. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all for diagnostic and laboratory services rather than for the specific CT imaging procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span a county-based public health system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a county government procurement office (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department's scientific evidence division (Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico), indicating fragmented adoption across health systems and public safety agencies rather than concentrated use within a single sector.

The recent opportunities show activity in California, Florida, and New Mexico. San Mateo County posted an RFP for an enterprise-grade Diagnostic Imaging PACS system due August 7, 2026, supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration and requiring migration from a legacy system; Collier County issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc. for ultrasound equipment and related services with a posting date of April 1, 2026; and the Albuquerque Police Department released an RFB for on-call phlebotomy and blood draw services with a response date of February 25, 2026. The code's mismatch with actual procurement scope and the limited number of recent opportunities suggest either misclassification by issuing bodies or inconsistent use of the UNSPSC taxonomy for laboratory and diagnostic services at the state and local level.
