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 BQ2WZZZ

UNSPSC 85876909 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left patella is a Commodity code that appears misaligned with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no CT imaging scans being procured directly; instead, issuers are soliciting diagnostic imaging infrastructure, health professional staffing, and special education services. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation spanning radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging modalities with EPIC integration, but this is a software and systems implementation contract, not a CT scan service. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, but this too addresses staffing deployment rather than imaging procedures. Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services solicitation is wholly unrelated to medical imaging. The code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope.

The geographic spread reflected in the recent opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but none of these solicitations are actually purchasing CT scans or similar diagnostic imaging procedures. Absent activity directly purchasing medical imaging services at the commodity level, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify UNSPSC coding accuracy with issuing bodies when opportunities are tagged under it in the future.
