UNSPSC 85876911: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left patella 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 patella 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 BQ2W1ZZ

UNSPSC 85876911 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left patella using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's narrow scope. The three recent opportunities identified span diagnostic imaging systems (a PACS implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which constitute CT imaging of the patella using the specified contrast agent. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this code has accumulated procedurally unrelated health care services over time. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), county procurement offices managing single-source determinations (Collier County, Florida), and city police departments (Albuquerque Police Department).

The three recent opportunities span California and Florida, with one sourced from New Mexico. San Mateo County Medical Center issued an RFP (due August 7, 2026) for a diagnostic imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime requirements, and a five-year agreement term; Collier County issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source (posted April 1, 2026) for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment and services; and the Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB (due February 25, 2026) for on-call phlebotomy technician services across Bernalillo County. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition; bidders should clarify with issuing bodies whether CT imaging procurement or related advanced diagnostic imaging modalities will be classified under this code before investing in pursuit.
