UNSPSC 85876916: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right patella using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right patella using high 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 BQ2V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85876916 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right patella using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the specific clinical service named. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code include a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation for San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services for Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing pool qualification vehicle for Santa Clara County Health System. Only the San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation bears any relationship to diagnostic imaging; the school district and health system opportunities concern services unrelated to CT scanning. The disconnect suggests this code may be misapplied in the state and local procurement system, or that the opportunities have been tagged incorrectly by the issuing bodies.

The sole relevant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for enterprise-grade PACS implementation, posted October 7, 2026 with proposals due October 21, 2026, seeking a vendor to migrate imaging data from the current ScImage system and support approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually across the county's hospital and clinic system. The procurement spans California, though the limited sample size prevents characterization of geographic concentration. Proposers must demonstrate prior PACS implementations with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, public sector experience, and three to five client references; evaluation emphasizes project approach (30 points), firm and team qualifications (45 points combined), and price (25 points). A local preference of 5–10% applies under San Mateo County ordinance for local businesses and small or micro businesses. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants review for correct classification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
