UNSPSC 85876970: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of right knee using high 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 high 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 BQ270ZZ

UNSPSC 85876970 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of right knee using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of a medical imaging taxonomy. The recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show a fundamental mismatch: the code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure (CT scanning of the knee with contrast media), yet the actual opportunities posted under it span enterprise imaging systems infrastructure, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services—none of which are knee CT scans. San Mateo Medical Center's request for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) RFP involves radiology, cardiology, and mammography workflows; Collier County's single-source notice covers ultrasound equipment; and Albuquerque's blood draw services RFB has no imaging component at all. The code appears to capture medical diagnostic services broadly rather than the specific procedural line item its name suggests.

The issuing bodies consist of a county hospital system (San Mateo County), a county health services procurement division (Collier County), and a municipal police department (City of Albuquerque). Recent opportunities cluster in California and Florida, with one in New Mexico. The most substantive current activity is San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation RFP, due August 7, 2026, which requires vendors to demonstrate EPIC EHR integration, prior public-sector PACS implementations, and the ability to migrate legacy imaging data while supporting 100 concurrent users and 99.9% system uptime over a five-year term. The County offers a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited diverge significantly, pursuit decisions should rely on the specific opportunities posted rather than the code name alone.
