UNSPSC 85875137: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral lungs 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 lungs 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 BB240ZZ

UNSPSC 85875137 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of bilateral lungs using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code representing a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a mismatch: the three most recent solicitations involve health system IT infrastructure (diagnostic imaging PACS systems), school district special education services, and temporary health professional staffing across clinical ancillary categories — none of which directly procure CT scans or imaging procedures as a consumable or service line. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope of computed tomography services. State and local procurement offices are instead using this code to tag broader health services contracting, including system implementations and staffing arrangements that may involve imaging workflows but do not constitute direct procurement of CT imaging services themselves.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county hospital and clinic operator (San Mateo County), and an independent school district (Birdville ISD in northeast Texas), reflecting a mix of public health systems and K–12 education. Activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) with at least one Texas school district opportunity. Without evidence of repeat buyers or sustained CT imaging procedure contracting at the state or local level, this code does not present a coherent procurement category for vendors focused on diagnostic imaging services, radiology procedure fees, or imaging consumables. Business development professionals should verify whether their target markets are actually issuing RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs for CT imaging services under different UNSPSC codes or through health plan cooperative purchasing vehicles, rather than treating this code as a reliable signal for imaging service demand.
