UNSPSC 85881042: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of skull using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of skull using other radionuclide. 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 CP11YZZ

UNSPSC 85881042 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of skull using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare system infrastructure and staffing needs rather than planar nuclear medicine imaging services. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration, due October 21, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026. A third opportunity from Birdville Independent School District in Texas solicits special education contracted services unrelated to nuclear medicine or imaging.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Recent opportunities span California and Texas, but neither clearly targets planar nuclear medicine imaging acquisition, operation, or maintenance. The SMMC PACS solicitation encompasses enterprise-grade imaging system implementation with 65,000 annual radiology studies and 8,000 mammography interpretations, but does not isolate nuclear medicine modalities. The Santa Clara Health System staffing RFQ includes Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology as one of thirteen eligible health professional categories but does not specify nuclear medicine technologists or technicians. Issuers include a county health system operator, a public hospital, and a school district—typical state and local buyers—but the procurement activity under this code does not substantively reflect nuclear medicine imaging services as the code names them. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is correctly assigned in jurisdictional procurement databases or seek opportunities under broader medical imaging or healthcare staffing codes.
