UNSPSC 85876459: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right shoulder using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right shoulder 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 BP281ZZ

UNSPSC 85876459 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right shoulder using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contracting activity currently posted under it. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect solicitations for diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and related specialists across school campuses), and temporary health professional staffing pools (radiology technicians, sonographers, and ancillary clinical roles). None of these opportunities procure CT imaging studies or imaging services as the code nominally describes; the mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a classification drift in how state and local procurement offices tag health services contracts. The issuing bodies include county hospital systems (San Mateo County Health System and Santa Clara County Health System) and an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), indicating that health systems and education districts are the primary buyers tagged to this code, though the actual scope of work purchased bears little relation to CT scan procedures.

The geographic spread covers California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), with no other states represented in the recent opportunities block. Representative solicitations include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (due October 21, 2026), which covers enterprise-grade picture archiving, data migration, and EPIC EHR integration supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies; Birdville Independent School District's RFQ for special education contracted services across 23 line items including audiology and speech language therapy (due October 21, 2026, with cost-price analysis of $398,494.30 for the 2025–2026 baseline); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary categories including diagnostic imaging and audiology (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing CT imaging service contracts at the state and local level.
