UNSPSC 85875236: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left ribs using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left ribs 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 BP2Y0ZZ

UNSPSC 85875236 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left ribs using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure with high osmolar contrast media, but the recent opportunities tagged to it involve broader health system contracting for imaging infrastructure, special education services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which match the narrow scope of a single CT imaging modality. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system involves enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication infrastructure supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across 65,000 annual radiology studies, but this is systems procurement rather than imaging service delivery. The Birdville Independent School District and Santa Clara County Health System opportunities address special education contracted services and temporary health professional staffing pools, which bear no relation to CT imaging under any interpretation.

State and local procurement activity under this code lacks meaningful volume or geographic concentration because the code itself appears misapplied to the opportunities the source records. No issuing bodies are repeat buyers under this specific code, and the three opportunities present — San Mateo County (California), Birdville ISD (Texas), and Santa Clara County (California) — represent distinct service categories without commonality. If this code is intended to capture CT imaging services as a line item or staffing category, the recent opportunities do not reflect that use; state and local buyers sourcing diagnostic imaging appear to do so through broader radiology or imaging-center procurement rather than procedure-specific commodity codes. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data classification error or that this particular imaging procedure is not actively solicited as a standalone service line in the state and local market.
