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 BQ28ZZZ

UNSPSC 85876963 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left knee is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local opportunities recently solicited under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the three recent opportunities tagged to this code actually span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS software and implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which represent CT scanning of the left knee or align with the code's ostensible clinical focus. This mismatch suggests either broad mis-tagging by issuing bodies or a coding-system artifact rather than genuine market activity in the named service line.

The issuing bodies include San Mateo County (via its Medical Center), Collier County, Florida, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Geographic spread spans California and Florida at the county level and New Mexico at the municipal level, with no standout pattern of repeat buyers. Representative recent activity includes San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (due August 7, 2026) involving enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies and migration from legacy ScImage infrastructure; Collier County's Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment (posting date April 1, 2026, with a March 26, 2026 deadline that has passed); and Albuquerque Police Department's RFB for on-call phlebotomy services (due February 25, 2026, deadline passed). The code shows recent activity but little substantive relevance to actual CT imaging service procurement, warranting clarification of whether this commodity designation accurately reflects state and local demand or represents a data-quality issue in the underlying solicitation tagging.
