UNSPSC 85875252: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral acromioclavicular joints

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral acromioclavicular joints. 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 BP23ZZZ

UNSPSC 85875252, Computerized tomography (ct scan) of bilateral acromioclavicular joints, is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. Recent opportunities posted against this code span diagnostic imaging platforms, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which involve CT scanning of shoulder joints. San Mateo Medical Center's July 2026 RFP for a diagnostic imaging PACS system with EPIC integration, Collier County's March 2026 single-source procurement of KOSMOS ultrasound equipment, and Albuquerque Police Department's February 2026 request for phlebotomy technician services are all tagged to this code despite falling outside its nominal medical imaging scope. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for the specific medical procedure it names.

The mismatch between code definition and solicitation content suggests either classification error in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a broader code usage pattern disconnected from the commodity's technical definition. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat the recent opportunities as noise rather than signal of actual demand for CT scanning services. The code may reflect historical categorization practice or system-level tagging inconsistency rather than active purchasing interest in the specific imaging modality it describes.
