UNSPSC 85877137: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of lumbar spine using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to computerized tomography (ct scan) of lumbar spine 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 BR291ZZ

UNSPSC 85877137 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of lumbar spine using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local opportunities on file. The source contains three recent solicitations — a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) from San Mateo Medical Center, an ultrasound equipment procurement from Collier County, Florida, and on-call phlebotomy blood draw services from the Albuquerque Police Department — none of which involve lumbar spine CT imaging or low osmolar contrast agents. The mismatch suggests either that this code is applied inconsistently by posting agencies or that the available procurement records do not reflect the actual scope of contracting under the code's nominal name. State and local opportunities tagged to this code do not appear to involve the consumable medical supplies, imaging protocols, or diagnostic protocols the code's name implies.

The geographic spread of these mismatched opportunities spans California, Florida, and New Mexico, with issuing bodies including a county hospital system, a county procurement office, and a city police department. Without representative opportunities that genuinely map to lumbar spine CT imaging or contrast media procurement, no meaningful characterization of work scope, issuing-body concentration, or response timelines under this code can be drawn from the source. A business development professional should verify whether this code is the correct tag for their target service line or whether recent state and local procurement in diagnostic imaging, medical supplies, or radiology support falls under a different UNSPSC code.
