UNSPSC 85877142: Computerized tomography (ct scan) of thoracic spine using high 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 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 BR270ZZ

UNSPSC 85877142 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of thoracic spine using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The three recent opportunities in the source show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope — which describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — and instead represent broader health system infrastructure and clinical services that state and local health agencies are soliciting. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted an RFP on July 9, 2026, due August 7, 2026, for an enterprise-grade Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with EPIC integration, serving radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source on March 5, 2026, for a KOSMOS ultrasound platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe and accessories, with contract term from March 26, 2026, to March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB on January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026, for on-call phlebotomy technician services for blood draw operations across Bernalillo County and Albuquerque City, with anticipated 300 annual service calls and a three-year initial term renewable for up to two additional one-year periods.

The code shows recent activity across California, Florida, and New Mexico, driven by county health systems and municipal law enforcement. The issuing bodies are county health authorities and city public safety departments seeking clinical services or diagnostic imaging systems rather than specific CT imaging procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a narrow CT procedure using high-osmolar contrast — and the actual procurement content (PACS software systems, ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy staffing services) suggests either erroneous code assignment or significant divergence between the taxonomy and actual state and local health procurement practice. This code does not represent a reliable signal for CT imaging service opportunities or contrast-administration work at the state and local level.
