UNSPSC 85881111: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of gallbladder 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 gallbladder 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 CF241ZZ

UNSPSC 85881111 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of gallbladder using technetium 99m (tc-99m), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code describe diagnostic imaging systems architecture (San Mateo Medical Center's Picture Archiving and Communication System procurement), special education contracted services unrelated to nuclear medicine (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical disciplines (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations target the specific nuclear medicine imaging modality, radiopharmaceutical, or clinical protocol the code nominates.

The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the opportunity records or minimal state and local demand for procurement specifically scoped to gallbladder scintigraphy. State and local health systems typically acquire nuclear medicine capability through broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure contracts, equipment service agreements, or clinical staffing arrangements rather than through commodity-level procedure-specific solicitations. Firms considering this code should verify that actual buying activity aligns with the narrow specialty the UNSPSC designation implies before investing in pursuit infrastructure.
