UNSPSC 85875049: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral parotid glands using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral parotid glands 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 B9261ZZ

UNSPSC 85875049 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral parotid glands using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing pool at Santa Clara County Health System—span radiology infrastructure, school psychology and therapy services, and ancillary clinical staffing respectively. None of these solicitations target CT imaging services or parotid gland diagnostics as a billable line item or procurement category. The code's nominal specificity (a single diagnostic procedure type using a particular contrast agent) does not match the scope of work state and local bodies are actually acquiring under it in the current market.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though these opportunities are tagged to the code coincidentally rather than substantively. State and local procurement under this Commodity code does not show discernible recent activity aligned with its stated scope. Vendors pursuing CT imaging services or radiology procedure contracts should verify code assignment at pre-bid or during Q&A, as the mismatch between the code's technical definition and actual issuing-body purchasing intent suggests potential classification error in the underlying solicitation records.
