UNSPSC 85874918: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right eye 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 eye 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 B8251ZZ

UNSPSC 85874918 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right eye using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific medical imaging procedure, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little alignment with that scope. The three most recent opportunities posted involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (a Picture Archiving and Communication System), ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which constitute CT scans or ophthalmologic imaging. Issuing bodies include San Mateo Medical Center in California, Collier County in Florida, and the Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico, spanning hospital systems, county procurement, and law enforcement. The code appears to have been misapplied to these health services and medical equipment solicitations rather than reserved for actual CT imaging procedures or diagnostics.

Geographic activity is scattered across California, Florida, and New Mexico with no clear regional concentration in recent postings. The most substantial recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), posted July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, requiring EPIC integration, support for 65,000 annual radiology studies and concurrent multi-modality imaging, 99.9% uptime, and a 9–12 month implementation window with a five-year agreement term; evaluation emphasizes project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with local preference available to San Mateo County businesses. Collier County's single-source notice for EchoNous KOSMOS ultrasound equipment (posted April 1, 2026) and Albuquerque's RFB for on-call phlebotomy services (posted January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026) represent secondary activity. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code has been repurposed in practice to encompass broader diagnostic imaging and clinical services — a signal worth monitoring for alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
