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 in practice encompasses diagnostic imaging systems, picture archiving platforms, and clinical laboratory services that state and local health systems and public hospitals procure to support radiology, cardiology, ultrasound, and phlebotomy operations. Recent state and local opportunities show health systems soliciting enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging infrastructure — particularly Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) with electronic health record integration, specialized ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy support services — rather than narrowly scoped imaging procedures on specific anatomical sites. The issuing bodies are public hospitals and health systems, police departments seeking laboratory support services, and county procurement divisions acting on behalf of health agencies. San Mateo County Medical Center and Collier County have posted opportunities for imaging-platform procurement; Albuquerque Police Department has solicited phlebotomy services to support evidence collection.

The code shows activity primarily in California and Florida, with representation from New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP on July 9, 2026, with responses due August 7, 2026, for a diagnostic imaging PACS supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies and 5,000 cardiology studies annually, with requirements for EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, and nine to twelve month implementation; local preference of 5–10% is available under San Mateo County ordinance. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous, Inc. on April 1, 2026, for ultrasound equipment and five-year warranty coverage. Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB on January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026, for on-call phlebotomy services across Bernalillo County, with 24/7 coverage and estimated 300 service calls annually. The code mismatch is substantial — the code nominally describes a single CT imaging procedure with contrast, but the recent solicitations span systems procurement, equipment vendor relationships, and clinical support services, suggesting that state and local agencies are using this code to tag diverse health system acquisition activities without strict adherence to the code's narrow nominal scope.
