UNSPSC 85876969: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee using low 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 BQ271ZZ

UNSPSC 85876969 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS software and implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which involve CT imaging of the knee or low-osmolar contrast administration. State and local procurement databases occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the work being solicited; this code exemplifies that mismatch. The issuing bodies in the recent block include a county-level public health system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a county procurement office (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico) — a broad mix of health care and public-safety agencies, but none soliciting imaging services that align with the code's stated commodity.

Geographic activity appears scattered across California, Florida, and New Mexico, with no concentration pattern that would signal repeat activity in a particular region. The most substantive recent opportunity is the San Mateo Medical Center RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Solicitation 660002526251), posted July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, requesting enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation with EPIC EHR integration to support approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually — plainly related to imaging infrastructure rather than CT procedures themselves. The Collier County Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc. (Solicitation PUR16842, posted April 1, 2026) and the Albuquerque Police Department RFB for phlebotomy services (RFB2025748POLDZ, posted January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026) are unrelated to the code's stated scope. The code shows no recent opportunities for CT imaging services, contrast agents, or knee-imaging procedures; procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive for substantive business development planning and verify with individual jurisdictions whether relevant imaging services are tagged under different codes.
