UNSPSC 85876202: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left scapula using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left scapula using other 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 BP27YZZ

UNSPSC 85876202 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left scapula using other contrast is a Commodity code that represents a narrow clinical imaging procedure rather than a procurement category actively solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a fundamental mismatch between the code's specificity (a single anatomical scan type with a named contrast medium) and the actual purchasing activity state and local health systems are conducting. The San Mateo Medical Center, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Birdville Independent School District all posted solicitations in the past three months, but none align with procurement of CT scanning services for left scapula imaging. Instead, issuing bodies are acquiring enterprise-scale diagnostic imaging systems (PACS infrastructure), temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties including diagnostic imaging and radiology support roles, and special education contracted services. The code appears to conflate a clinical procedure code (likely borrowed from CPT or ICD-10 medical billing taxonomy) with a procurement code, creating noise in state and local purchasing records rather than a meaningful commodity classification.

The geographic spread of these misaligned opportunities spans California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but neither the specificity of the code nor the substance of the opportunities supports pursuit under this classification. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (due October 21, 2026) seeks enterprise software and implementation; Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) covers ancillary clinical roles including diagnostic imaging and radiology support; and Birdville Independent School District's proposal for special education contracted services (due October 21, 2026) includes vision evaluation but not imaging procurement. A firm pursuing diagnostic imaging services, PACS system implementation, or radiology staffing should monitor higher-tier UNSPSC codes in the medical equipment and health services families rather than track this specific commodity code.
