UNSPSC 85876938: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right calcaneus using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right calcaneus 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 BQ2JYZZ

UNSPSC 85876938 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right calcaneus using other contrast, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with the narrow clinical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county government (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department), suggesting that the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for clinical and diagnostic services rather than reserved for the specific CT imaging procedure its name indicates.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers California, Florida, and New Mexico, with no evidence of concentrated or repeat purchasing under this code. Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system (due August 7, 2026) supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography with EPIC integration and 99.9% uptime requirements; Collier County's Notice of Intent to single-source ultrasound equipment from EchoNous, Inc. (posted April 1, 2026); and the Albuquerque Police Department's RFB for on-call phlebotomy services covering Bernalillo County (due February 25, 2026). The code appears to suffer from classification drift, with procurement offices tagging unrelated clinical service acquisitions under a highly specific procedure code, making the UNSPSC designation unreliable for business development targeting or pipeline forecasting.
