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 BR29ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877135 Computerized tomography (ct scan) of lumbar spine is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not reflect purchases of the imaging service itself. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for diagnostic imaging infrastructure and ancillary services — specifically, a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation by San Mateo Medical Center that will support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 78,000 annual studies, and a single-source notice by Collier County, Florida for ultrasound equipment procurement. The code's nominal scope — lumbar spine CT imaging — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it; the solicitations target system architecture, equipment procurement, and service delivery infrastructure rather than the specific imaging modality named in the code. State and local health systems and public hospital operators appear as the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the limited recent-opportunity sample prevents characterization of broader issuing patterns.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP on July 9, 2026 with proposals due August 7, 2026 for enterprise-grade PACS implementation including data migration from an incumbent ScImage system, comprehensive 3D visualization capabilities, EPIC EHR integration, and five-year support, evaluated on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a 5–10% local preference available under County ordinance. Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous, Inc. for ultrasound equipment and related services on April 1, 2026. A third opportunity — the Albuquerque Police Department's RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services posted January 26, 2026 with responses due February 25, 2026 — bears no relationship to imaging services and appears to be a code-tagging error. The code shows limited and potentially mislabeled recent activity; bidders should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities in this space.
