UNSPSC 85881106: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of liver and spleen using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of liver and spleen 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 CF161ZZ

UNSPSC 85881106 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of liver and spleen using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of nuclear medicine imaging services or equipment. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in California solicited an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with a response date of October 21, 2026, which addresses enterprise-grade imaging data management and visualization across radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging but does not reference nuclear medicine modalities. Birdville Independent School District in Texas issued a competitive sealed proposal (closing October 21, 2026) for special education contracted services—audiologists, speech therapists, and related specialists—unrelated to medical imaging. Santa Clara County Health System in California posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification RFQ (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, therapy services, and patient transport, again outside nuclear medicine imaging scope.

The code shows no recent state or local procurement activity that reflects actual purchases of planar nuclear medicine imaging using tc-99m agents or related radiopharmaceutical services. The three posted opportunities above were tagged under this UNSPSC number but do not align with the code's defined scope. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging anomaly in the issuing systems or that state and local buyers do not currently source nuclear medicine imaging services through open competitive procurement in the surveyed jurisdictions. Business development professionals should verify whether state health systems, county hospitals, or other large medical facilities in target regions procure these services through standing vendor relationships, group purchasing organization (GPO) contracts, or alternative procurement channels outside the UNSPSC-tagged RFP/RFQ process.
