UNSPSC 85881303: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral salivary glands using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral salivary glands 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 C91B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85881303 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of bilateral salivary glands using technetium 99m (tc-99m), a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The three most recent opportunities tagged under or near this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—are substantively unrelated to the narrow clinical imaging procedure the code describes. The PACS opportunity involves enterprise picture archiving and communication system procurement spanning radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging modalities; the education opportunity covers speech pathology, occupational therapy, and behavioral analysis; and the health staffing vehicle addresses temporary placement across audiology, cardiology services, diagnostic imaging, and other ancillary clinical roles. None directly address salivary gland nuclear medicine imaging as a service line or procurement category.

State and local governments do not appear to solicit this specific nuclear medicine imaging procedure as a standalone commodity under current UNSPSC classification practice. Healthcare purchasing in the reviewed sample focuses on infrastructure (PACS systems), temporary professional staffing pools, and contracted clinical services across broad specialties rather than discrete diagnostic imaging protocols. This code warrants monitoring for activity, but represents either misclassification at the point of posting or genuine dormancy in state and local procurement for this particular imaging service.
