UNSPSC 85881213: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (tl-201). 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 CH12SZZ

UNSPSC 85881213 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral breasts using thallium 201 (Tl-201) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code are substantially unrelated to the code's nominal scope: they cover diagnostic imaging PACS infrastructure (San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services including speech therapy and occupational therapy (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, respiratory care, and surgical support (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities procure nuclear medicine imaging equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, imaging procedures, or the specialized protocols associated with thallium-201 breast imaging. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement source or minimal recent demand for this specific imaging modality under the code as tagged.

The three opportunities identified span different issuing bodies—a county public health system, a school district, and a county health system—across three states (California and Texas), but none aligns with the Commodity code's stated clinical application. Without evidence of recent state or local procurement activity directly targeting nuclear medicine imaging services, thallium-201 imaging equipment, or related radiopharmaceuticals, the code does not support a pursue recommendation at this time.
