UNSPSC 85881613: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of brain using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of brain 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 C020SZZ

UNSPSC 85881613 Tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of brain using thallium 201 (TL-201) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging modality, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly aligned with this narrow technical specification. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—a San Mateo Medical Center diagnostic imaging PACS system RFP, a Birdville Independent School District special education contracted services RFP, and a Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing RFQ—span enterprise imaging infrastructure, school-based clinical services, and general ancillary health staffing. None of these solicitations reference thallium-201 imaging specifically or tomographic nuclear medicine procedures. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the opportunities or that the code's narrow focus does not reflect actual state and local procurement patterns in this domain.

The issuing bodies across these three opportunities include a county hospital system (San Mateo), an independent school district (Birdville, Texas), and a regional health authority (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. Without additional opportunities demonstrating active procurement specifically for TL-201 imaging services, consumables, or equipment, this code shows minimal decision-relevant recent activity for vendors focused on nuclear medicine or cardiac imaging diagnostics. Firms pursuing work in clinical staffing, diagnostic imaging infrastructure, or school-based health services may encounter this code as a tagging artifact but should verify scope alignment before pursuit.
