UNSPSC 85881217: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of left breast using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar 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 CH111ZZ

UNSPSC 85881217 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of left breast using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specific diagnostic imaging protocol, yet the three most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification address substantially different scope: diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (Picture Archiving and Communication System), school-based special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical ancillary roles. None of these opportunities directly solicits planar nuclear medicine imaging of the left breast or technetium 99m imaging services as a standalone product or service line.

The mismatch between the code's technical specificity and the actual scope of recent postings suggests either miscoding in the source data or that state and local jurisdictions are not soliciting discrete nuclear medicine imaging protocols as standalone procurement activities. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 PACS RFP addresses imaging system architecture and integration rather than individual imaging modalities; the Birdville Independent School District's special education services RFQ and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFQ address staffing and services delivery, not imaging equipment or protocols. No representative opportunities exist under this code that directly match its stated scope of nuclear medicine imaging services.
