UNSPSC 85874859: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of ear using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of ear using other 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 B920YZZ

UNSPSC 85874859 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of ear using other contrast is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a mismatch: San Mateo County's diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) procurement encompasses enterprise-grade radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure rather than ear CT imaging specifically; Collier County's single-source notice covers portable ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe) unrelated to CT scanning; and the Albuquerque Police Department's request is for phlebotomy technicians providing blood draw services for forensic purposes. These opportunities suggest the code may be receiving misclassified tags in state and local procurement systems, as none directly solicit CT imaging services, equipment, or contracting.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), and New Mexico (Albuquerque), though each opportunity addresses a distinct service line. The San Mateo County PACS RFP, due August 7, 2026, represents the closest alignment to imaging infrastructure and serves a public hospital system performing approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies; it requires EPIC EHR integration, 99.9% uptime, and vendor experience with PACS implementations in public sector health systems. The code shows no clear pattern of activity from repeat issuing bodies or concentration in health system procurement specifically focused on ear or otologic imaging. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether opportunities are correctly classified or whether the code itself requires re-evaluation for relevance to their service lines.
