UNSPSC 85881814: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins 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 C51BYZZ

UNSPSC 85881814 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (a PACS implementation), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related evaluations), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical roles including diagnostic imaging technicians—but none directly solicit the radiopharmaceutical imaging procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-related service procurement at state and local health systems and school districts rather than for the specific nuclear medicine procedure its code name indicates.

The issuing bodies span a county health system (Santa Clara County), a county hospital and clinic operator (San Mateo Medical Center), and a Texas school district (Birdville Independent School District). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with the most detailed recent opportunities posted between July and October 2026. The Santa Clara Health System opened a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with a due date of October 7, 2026; San Mateo Medical Center requested proposals for a PACS implementation with a due date of October 21, 2026; and Birdville Independent School District solicited special education contracted services including therapy disciplines with the same October 21, 2026 deadline. Given the code's narrow technical definition and the mismatch between that definition and the work actually being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing nuclear medicine imaging services.
