UNSPSC 85875121: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left tracheobronchial tree using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left tracheobronchial tree 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 BB281ZZ

UNSPSC 85875121 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left tracheobronchial tree using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that, in practice, sees state and local solicitation activity dominated by diagnostic imaging system procurement and clinical laboratory services rather than individual imaging procedures. The code's nominal scope—a specific CT imaging protocol—does not align with the work actually being bought under it. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) demonstrates that state and local health systems are soliciting enterprise-grade imaging infrastructure encompassing radiology, cardiology, and dental modalities, migration of existing imaging data, and EPIC Electronic Health Record integration rather than standalone CT procedures. Separately, Collier County, Florida's March 2026 notice of intent to single source EchoNous ultrasound equipment and Albuquerque Police Department's January 2026 RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services indicate that coding inconsistencies may tag unrelated clinical services under this CT-specific commodity code. The issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center operating as a public hospital and clinic system), county procurement offices (Collier County Procurement Services Division), and municipal police departments seeking clinical support services (Albuquerque Police Department). No standout repeat buyers appear in the recent activity.

Geographic spread covers California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), and New Mexico (Albuquerque and Bernalillo County), with limited visibility into broader state-level adoption or activity patterns. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, due August 7, 2026, represents the most concrete recent solicitation under the code's nominal scope, requesting proposals for enterprise PACS implementation supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations with EPIC integration, 9–12 month implementation, and a five-year agreement term; vendor qualifications must demonstrate successful PACS implementations integrated with EPIC within the past five years and public sector or large health system experience. The Collier County and Albuquerque opportunities, while tagged under this code, represent ultrasound equipment procurement and phlebotomy services rather than CT imaging, suggesting material misalignment between the code's intended scope and how state and local jurisdictions are currently tagging diagnostic and clinical services in their procurement systems.
