UNSPSC 85881736: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper chest lymphatics using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper chest lymphatics using other radionuclide. 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 C71LYZZ

UNSPSC 85881736 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper chest lymphatics using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly relate to nuclear medicine imaging procedures or radionuclide-based diagnostic services as the code nominally describes. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) is soliciting a comprehensive Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, but this involves information technology infrastructure rather than nuclear medicine imaging capability. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the actual state and local buying activity suggests this Commodity code captures little relevant procurement volume in the jurisdictions currently active under it.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes California (San Mateo County) and Texas (Tarrant County school district), with Santa Clara County (California) establishing a broader temporary health professional staffing vendor pool. The representative opportunities are San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS with proposals due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District's RFP for special education contracted services (proposals due October 21, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine state and local procurement in nuclear medicine imaging itself, and firms targeting diagnostic imaging or health system staffing should verify categorization before pursuing opportunities posted under this code.
