UNSPSC 85876204: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left scapula 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 scapula 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 BP270ZZ

UNSPSC 85876204 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left scapula using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging system procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — scopes plainly unrelated to the nominal code definition. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (due October 21, 2026) centers on enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, not individual ct scan services. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its narrow technical specification and the way state and local procurement bodies are currently using the tag.

State and local health systems and school districts are issuing opportunities under this code, but none align with the purchasing of individual diagnostic ct scan services. The geographic spread includes California (San Mateo County) and Texas (Tarrant County school district), plus Santa Clara County, though the latter is positioned as a standing vendor qualification for temporary staffing across multiple clinical categories rather than imaging-specific procurement. The absence of recent opportunities reflecting the code's stated scope — imaging procedures themselves — suggests that state and local governments do not commonly procure at this commodity level of granularity, or that code assignment practices at the posting agencies diverge materially from the UNSPSC definition. Pursuit under this code warrants clarification with issuing bodies about their actual tagging practices and the relevant higher-tier family or class code that governs imaging-related purchasing.
