UNSPSC 85881010: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of spine and pelvis using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of spine and pelvis using technetium 99m (tc-99m). 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 CP271ZZ

UNSPSC 85881010 Tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of spine and pelvis using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code are substantially unrelated to nuclear medicine imaging: San Mateo Medical Center is procuring a diagnostic imaging PACS system (picture archiving and communication system) for radiology, cardiology, and mammography; Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services including audiologists and speech language therapists; and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology but not nuclear medicine. None of these opportunities target nuclear medicine imaging services or the specific isotope-based imaging modality the code describes.

The geographic spread of posted opportunities spans California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County), but the issuing bodies and scope of work do not align with nuclear medicine imaging procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity code does not capture state and local purchasing patterns in nuclear medicine imaging services or that opportunities in this specialty are not being tagged to this code.
