UNSPSC 85875051: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral parotid glands using high 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 high 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 B9260ZZ

UNSPSC 85875051 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral parotid glands using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve CT scanning of parotid glands or any specific diagnostic imaging procedure. The code's nominal scope describes a narrow clinical imaging service, but the actual procurement activity shows state and local buyers using the code to tag healthcare system modernization projects, educational support services, and clinical staffing arrangements that fall outside this code's defined service line.

Given this fundamental mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors pursuing diagnostic imaging service contracts. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) is seeking an enterprise PACS system proposal (RFP, due October 21, 2026); Santa Clara Health System is qualifying temporary staffing vendors across multiple clinical specialties (RFQ, due October 7, 2026); and Birdville Independent School District is contracting special education services (sealed proposal, due October 21, 2026). The issuing bodies span a county health system, a school district, and a public hospital — jurisdictions that rarely solicit under this Commodity code when their actual procurement needs involve IT infrastructure or clinical labor rather than imaging procedures. Vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing opportunities flagged under 85875051.
