UNSPSC 85876981: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of left hip using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of left hip 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 BQ211ZZ

UNSPSC 85876981 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left hip using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying patterns. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure and clinical laboratory services rather than individual CT procedures, including Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementations supporting multiple imaging modalities, ultrasound equipment procurement, and on-call phlebotomy services. The issuing bodies span diverse public sector categories—county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, operated by San Mateo County), county procurement divisions handling health department acquisitions (Collier County, Florida), and municipal law enforcement agencies with forensic and medical evidence collection needs (Albuquerque Police Department). This mix indicates fragmented buying patterns across independent agencies rather than consolidated procurement within a single jurisdiction or service category.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with additional recent solicitation in New Mexico. San Mateo County Medical Center posted a diagnostic imaging PACS RFP due August 7, 2026, seeking enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration to support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with evaluation criteria weighted 30 points to project approach, 25 to firm qualifications, 20 to team qualifications, and 25 to price. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent on April 1, 2026 to single-source EchoNous, Inc. for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with a five-year warranty, with the notice offering an objection window for competing vendors. The Albuquerque Police Department solicited on-call phlebotomy technician services via RFB-2025-748-POL-DZ due February 25, 2026, for approximately 300 annual service calls across Bernalillo County with 24/7/365 coverage requirements. The divergence between the code's narrow procedural description and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests the code is being misapplied to broader imaging and laboratory infrastructure procurements; direct pursuit of individual diagnostic procedure codes may not reflect where demand is actually concentrated.
