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 BT22ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877340 Computerized tomography (CT scan) of left kidney is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity does not align with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent CT scanning services for a specific organ. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a diagnostic imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) with proposals due October 21, 2026 solicits enterprise-grade radiology infrastructure supporting 65,000 annual studies, not individual imaging procedures. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being bought suggests either a cataloging error or a jurisdiction's use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement. State and local health systems and county medical centers appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code, though the opportunities presented span different service categories entirely.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. San Mateo County, California posted the PACS infrastructure solicitation; Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County, Texas solicited special education services (unrelated to imaging); and Santa Clara County, California established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows minimal evidence of direct procurement for CT imaging services as the title suggests, and business development professionals should verify with issuing jurisdictions whether opportunities tagged under this code represent actual imaging service needs or reflect systemic cataloging inconsistency across state and local procurement systems.
