UNSPSC 85876968: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee 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 BQ27YZZ

UNSPSC 85876968 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right knee using other contrast, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow scope. The three recent opportunities posted show a substantial mismatch: San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation to manage 65,000+ annual radiology studies across multiple modalities; Collier County, Florida is procuring point-of-care ultrasound equipment and software licensing; and the Albuquerque Police Department is seeking on-call phlebotomy technician services for blood draw operations. These solicitations span diagnostic imaging infrastructure, portable ultrasound platforms, and clinical support services—none of which correspond to the code's stated purpose of imaging a specific anatomical site with contrast. The issuing bodies represent a mix of county hospital systems, county procurement offices, and municipal police departments, reflecting ad-hoc tagging rather than a coherent commodity family.

Geographic activity appears scattered across California, Florida, and New Mexico, with no concentration pattern. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due August 7, 2026) and Collier County single-source notice (March 26, 2026, closed) represent the most substantive opportunities, though neither relates directly to the code's nominal scope. The Albuquerque Police Department RFB for phlebotomy services (due February 25, 2026, now closed) similarly diverges from imaging services. This code shows limited relevant recent activity; the UNSPSC classification appears misapplied across all three opportunities, suggesting either data-entry errors or systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies. Vendors should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
