UNSPSC 85877141: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of thoracic 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 thoracic 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 BR271ZZ

UNSPSC 85877141 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of thoracic spine using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with the specific scope of thoracic spine CT imaging using low osmolar contrast media. The mismatch suggests that issuing bodies may be tagging broader imaging or clinical laboratory services under this code without precision to the actual commodity definition, or that state and local procurement offices are using the code as a catchall for diagnostic imaging equipment and services rather than reserving it for the narrow procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County Medical Center) and Florida (Collier County), with one opportunity from New Mexico (Albuquerque Police Department), though the New Mexico solicitation for blood draw services is plainly unrelated to CT imaging. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP (response due August 7, 2026) for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography with EPIC integration, reflecting enterprise imaging infrastructure rather than CT procedure-level commodities; Collier County issued a notice of intent to single source EchoNous ultrasound equipment and related services (effective March 26, 2026 through March 25, 2028), which is also outside the code's stated scope. The absence of active solicitations directly aligned with thoracic spine CT imaging services suggests limited procurement velocity under this commodity code in the current cycle, and business development professionals should verify whether opportunities in this space are being tagged to higher-tier imaging or diagnostic services codes instead.
