This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of left breast 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 CH211ZZ

UNSPSC 85881208 Tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of left breast using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code shows little relevant activity; the three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement by San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services vehicle by Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification pool by the County of Santa Clara Health System. None of these solicitations involve the specific nuclear medicine imaging procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the live procurement activity it tags suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code is being used as a placeholder for broader diagnostic or clinical service categories. Firms evaluating whether to pursue work under this code should verify the actual scope of the opportunity directly in the RFP or RFQ documentation rather than relying on the code description alone, as the recent postings span facility IT infrastructure, school-based clinical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with specialized nuclear medicine imaging.
