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 represents a narrow diagnostic imaging service specification, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with the specific service it nominally describes. The three most recent opportunities cover diagnostic imaging information-system procurement (Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation), special education contracted services (audiologists, speech therapists, and related professionals), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The mismatch between the code's specific scope (a single imaging modality applied to a single anatomical site using a particular contrast agent) and the breadth of the opportunities suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this code to cover a wider range of imaging and health professional services than the code's nominal definition supports.

The issuing bodies include a public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a school district (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara), reflecting a mix of health care and education purchasers. Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS with EPIC integration, proposals due October 21, 2026, requiring demonstration of successful implementations within the past five years and HIPAA compliance; Birdville Independent School District's request for special education contracted services across 23 line items including audiology and related therapies, proposals due October 21, 2026, with contract term December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027 plus three renewal options; and Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with a non-exclusive multiple-award structure and five-year qualified-list retention, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows limited relevant recent activity when interpreted against its specific nominal scope.
