UNSPSC 85876914: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right patella using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right patella using other 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 BQ2VYZZ

UNSPSC 85876914 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right patella using other contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific radiological imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a broader health system procurement activity around diagnostic imaging infrastructure and temporary health professional staffing. State and local buyers under this code include county health systems, public hospital networks, and school districts seeking to establish or expand clinical service capacity. San Mateo Medical Center (a public hospital and clinic system serving San Mateo County) is procuring an enterprise-grade Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) to consolidate radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with an RFP due October 21, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific CT imaging procedure) and the actual work being procured (PACS systems implementation, health professional staffing qualification pools, and special education contracted services) signals that this code may be misapplied to health systems work that does not fit its precise radiological definition.

Geographic activity centers on California, where San Mateo and Santa Clara counties are actively soliciting imaging infrastructure and temporary clinical staffing services, with secondary activity in Texas through Birdville Independent School District's special education staffing RFP due October 21, 2026. The San Mateo PACS procurement emphasizes EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, 99.9% system uptime, data migration from legacy ScImage systems, and vendor qualifications requiring successful public-sector or large health system PACS implementations within five years, with 30 percent of evaluation weight on project approach and 25 percent on price. Santa Clara's health professional staffing pool is a five-year standing vehicle with multiple awards available and no guaranteed work volume, allowing vendors to qualify for single or multiple specialty categories. The recent opportunities do not support robust ongoing activity under this code at the state and local level, and pursuit should be informed by whether your firm's service scope aligns with the actual work being bought rather than the code's stated radiological procedure.
