UNSPSC 85875406: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of colon using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of colon 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 BD241ZZ

UNSPSC 85875406 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of colon using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a substantial mismatch. The three most recent solicitations—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and a temporary health professional staffing vehicle from Santa Clara County Health System—span radiology infrastructure, educational services, and clinical staffing across multiple specialties including audiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedics, and respiratory care. Only one opportunity (the PACS solicitation) relates directly to diagnostic imaging capability; the other two are unrelated to CT colonoscopy services or imaging procedures generally. The issuing bodies are a county-operated hospital and clinic system, a school district, and a county health system, suggesting the code is being used inconsistently across jurisdictions or may have been applied to opportunities that do not fit its nominal scope.

The geographic spread covers California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with response dates clustered in October 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for PACS implementation, due October 21, 2026, represents enterprise imaging infrastructure rather than a specific imaging procedure, and includes a local preference of 5–10% under County ordinance for local and small businesses. The Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026, establishes a vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories without guaranteed volume. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition, and procurement professionals should verify code alignment with issuers before pursuing opportunities listed under this classification.
