UNSPSC 85875242: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of thorax using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of thorax 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 BP2W1ZZ

UNSPSC 85875242 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of thorax using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that in practice captures diagnostic imaging infrastructure and support services rather than the specific contrast-agent procedure its name suggests. State and local health systems are soliciting under this code for enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementations, ultrasound equipment platforms with integrated software licensing, and phlebotomy support services—acquisitions that span imaging system architecture, vendor-supplied hardware and software, and clinical labor services. The issuing bodies are county health authorities and municipal police departments: San Mateo County Medical Center, Collier County (Florida) health procurement, and the City of Albuquerque Police Department. The code appears to serve as a catch-all categorization for a wide range of diagnostic and forensic service delivery infrastructure rather than imaging procedures alone.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. San Mateo County issued an RFP (due August 7, 2026) for Diagnostic Imaging PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with migration from a legacy system and 9–12 month implementation required; the system must support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration mandatory and five-year agreement terms. Collier County, Florida, posted a Notice of Intent to single-source ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe and five-year warranty) from EchoNous, Inc., with a contract term through March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB (due February 25, 2026) for 24/7 on-call phlebotomy technician services across Bernalillo County, anticipating 300 annual service calls with three-year initial term and up to two one-year renewals. The code's breadth and the diversity of these opportunities—from mission-critical imaging system replacements to on-demand clinical support—suggest inconsistent application; business development teams should treat this code as a scanning category and validate scope against individual opportunity statements.
