UNSPSC 85881216: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of left breast using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of left breast 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 CH11SZZ

UNSPSC 85881216 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of left breast using thallium 201 (tl-201), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging PACS procurement (San Mateo County), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). Only the San Mateo Medical Center opportunity aligns tangentially with the code's nominal scope — a PACS system that manages diagnostic imaging across radiology, cardiology, and dental departments — but the solicitation addresses image management infrastructure rather than the specific nuclear medicine imaging procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's precise clinical procedure scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code represents a narrow clinical service that state and local purchasing offices rarely isolate as a standalone contract line item. Health systems appear to procure diagnostic imaging through broader enterprise system implementations (as in San Mateo's RFP for enterprise-grade PACS with 99.9% uptime and EPIC integration) or through temporary staffing qualification pools covering multiple diagnostic imaging and radiology specialties (as in Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services). Neither issuing body nor date specific to nuclear medicine thallium-201 imaging procurement is evident in the recent opportunity set.
