UNSPSC 85881815: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins 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 C51B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85881815 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity veins using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems procurement (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara Health System). Only the SMMC solicitation—a request for enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration—relates to diagnostic imaging work; the other two opportunities fall outside nuclear medicine or medical imaging altogether, suggesting systematic tagging misalignment rather than representative activity under this code.

San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital in San Mateo County, California, is the sole issuing body with a directly relevant recent opportunity. SMMC posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS on October 7, 2026, with proposals due October 21, 2026. The system must support approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, migrate data from the existing ScImage PACS system in place since 2009, and achieve 99.9% uptime with 2–5 second image load times. Implementation must complete within 9–12 months under a five-year agreement. Vendor qualifications must include successful EPIC-integrated PACS implementations in public sector or large health system settings within five years, with three to five client references. Proposals are evaluated on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 offers a 5–10% local preference for local businesses, nonprofits, and small or micro businesses. The code shows limited recent activity relevant to its stated scope; reliance on this code as a procurement signal would be premature without additional market data.
