UNSPSC 85876431: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left elbow using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left elbow 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 BP2H1ZZ

UNSPSC 85876431 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left elbow using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows only tangential alignment with this narrow clinical definition. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (PACS systems), portable ultrasound equipment and software licensing, and phlebotomy services — none of which are CT scans or orthopedic imaging procedures. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code to capture broader diagnostic and laboratory services rather than the specific procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include a county health system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county procurement division (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department), reflecting use across hospital systems, general county purchasing, and law enforcement support functions.

Activity appears concentrated in the West and Southwest. San Mateo County, California posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (due August 7, 2026) seeking an enterprise-grade system to support approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations with EPIC EHR integration, 99.9% uptime, and migration from a legacy system in place since 2009. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment and software licensing (deadline March 26, 2026). The Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services (due February 25, 2026) covering Bernalillo County with an anticipated 300 annual calls for service and a term of three years renewable for two additional one-year periods. The code shows limited recent activity and poor semantic fit to the opportunities actually being solicited; vendors pursuing work under this code should treat tagging as unreliable and search by scope of work (diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound equipment, clinical laboratory services) rather than relying on code-level navigation.
