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 CP16YZZ

UNSPSC 85881040 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of pelvis using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three recent opportunities posted under this code are a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services solicitation from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and a temporary health professional staffing services qualification vehicle at County of Santa Clara Health System. None of these solicitations involve nuclear medicine imaging equipment or services; instead they span health information systems, educational support, and clinical staffing procurement. The code does not reflect actual procurement patterns for nuclear medicine modalities or related diagnostic devices.

The recent opportunities that do appear represent entirely different commodity families and issuing bodies. San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated public hospital in California) is seeking PACS software and implementation services with proposals due October 21, 2026 and local-preference eligibility under San Mateo County Ordinance; Birdville Independent School District (a Texas school district) is procuring temporary special education professionals with an October 21, 2026 deadline and evaluation weighted heavily toward price (55%); and Santa Clara County Health System is building a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with an October 7, 2026 response date and no guaranteed work volume. The UNSPSC coding applied to these opportunities does not align with the code's stated diagnostic intent, rendering the code a poor signal for nuclear medicine procurement activity in the state and local market right now.
