UNSPSC 85875043: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral submandibular glands using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral submandibular glands using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhancedcomputerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral submandibular glands using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced. 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 B92910Z

UNSPSC 85875043 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral submandibular glands using low osmolar contrast, unenhanced and enhanced is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure and staffing work rather than individual CT scans. The code appears in purchasing activity centered on Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation, diagnostic imaging department operations, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing to support imaging and related clinical functions. Issuing bodies include county health systems and hospital operators—notably San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system), the County of Santa Clara Health System, and school districts purchasing special education contracted services. The work being solicited encompasses enterprise-grade imaging software and data migration, as well as temporary staffing to fill diagnostic imaging and clinical support roles across health system networks.

Recent activity clusters in California, where San Mateo County's San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation due October 21, 2026, requiring vendor proposals for enterprise-grade system deployment supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime requirements, and nine- to twelve-month implementation. The County of Santa Clara Health System opened a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume and up to five-year qualified-vendor list maintenance. A third solicitation from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, due October 21, 2026, covers special education contracted services including diagnostician and related roles, though this opportunity appears tangentially related to the code's imaging scope. The mismatch between the code's nominal specificity and the actual procurement activity—spanning systems infrastructure, staffing, and non-imaging services—suggests either misclassification in the issuing systems or that this code functions as a catch-all identifier within certain state and local procurement offices for diagnostic imaging department operations broadly.
