UNSPSC 85874861: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of ear using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of ear 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 B9201ZZ

UNSPSC 85874861 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of ear using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems procurement, ultrasound equipment acquisition, and phlebotomy services — none of which directly match CT imaging services as described in the code name. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) represents the closest thematic connection, seeking enterprise-grade imaging infrastructure to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging workflows, but the scope encompasses multi-modal imaging archive and communication rather than CT-specific procedures. Collier County's single-source procurement of KOSMOS ultrasound equipment with TORSO-ONE USB probes and the Albuquerque Police Department's request for on-call phlebotomy technician services fall outside diagnostic imaging hardware and software categories entirely. Issuing bodies across the three opportunities include a county public hospital system (San Mateo County), a county government procurement office (Collier County), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque). The code shows no identifiable pattern of repeat buyers or concentration among particular jurisdiction types.

Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), and New Mexico (Albuquerque), with no evidence of additional concentration. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted July 9, 2026 with proposals due August 7, 2026, calls for a five-year PACS implementation serving approximately 78,000 annual imaging studies with 99.9% system uptime, EPIC EHR integration, and data migration from the existing ScImage system. The Collier County Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous, Inc., posted April 1, 2026, addresses specialized ultrasound platform procurement rather than CT services. The code's recent activity does not demonstrate substantive market for the CT ear imaging procedure it nominally describes; the misalignment suggests either tagging error in the source data or a jurisdiction's use of this code as a general diagnostic imaging catchall. Pursuit under this code warrants clarification of the actual imaging modality and procedure scope before bid preparation.
