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 in recent state and local activity does not align with concrete diagnostic imaging service procurement. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code span Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) infrastructure procurement at a county medical center, special education contracted services at a school district, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories at a county health system. Only one of these—the San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation—relates directly to diagnostic imaging technology; the other two represent special education services and clinical staffing that fall outside the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either that the code is being applied inconsistently across jurisdictions or that the source data tags do not reflect actual procurement content. State and local issuers posting under this code include county-operated public hospitals and health systems, independent school districts, and county purchasing offices.

The geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with additional activity in Santa Clara County. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted October 7, 2026 with a response due October 21, 2026, seeks an enterprise PACS implementation supporting approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with migration of 17 years of imaging data and EPIC integration required; a local business preference of 5–10% applies. Birdville Independent School District's RFQ for special education contracted services, due October 21, 2026, and Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026, fall outside imaging service scope. The code shows sparse recent activity directly relevant to its nominal commodity definition, with only the PACS procurement offering meaningful pursuit opportunity under the code's stated clinical imaging purpose.
