UNSPSC 85876456: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left shoulder 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 shoulder 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 BP290ZZ

UNSPSC 85876456 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left shoulder using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure—CT imaging of the left shoulder using high osmolar contrast media—but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve broader health system infrastructure and clinical staffing services rather than the discrete imaging service the code nominally covers. The most visible recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), which addresses enterprise imaging software and data migration rather than the performance or procurement of individual CT scans or imaging procedures. A second opportunity from Santa Clara County Health System solicits temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, but again the focus is on staffing vendors rather than imaging services themselves. A third opportunity from Birdville Independent School District concerns special education contracted services and appears unrelated to the code's scope. The mismatch between the code's specificity (a single procedure type) and the breadth of recent opportunities suggests this code may capture healthcare system infrastructure and workforce procurement that falls outside the discrete imaging procedure the UNSPSC category name implies.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, with San Mateo County and Santa Clara County Health System both posting RFP/RFQ vehicles in the third quarter of 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation, posted October 7, 2026 with an October 21, 2026 response deadline, requires enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime service levels, and nine- to twelve-month deployment across the health system's 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations. Santa Clara County's qualification vehicle, posted July 7, 2026 with an October 7, 2026 deadline, establishes a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in ancillary health professional categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with no guaranteed volume and case-by-case scope negotiation. The code shows little recent activity directly aligned with procurement of CT imaging procedures or related diagnostic services at the procedure level; state and local buyers appear to be organizing their acquisitions around systems, staffing, and clinical infrastructure rather than discrete imaging procedures.
