UNSPSC 85881919: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of heart using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of heart 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 C21YYZZ

UNSPSC 85881919 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of heart using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name refers to a specific diagnostic imaging modality, but recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of nuclear medicine imaging equipment or services. Instead, the three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation supporting multiple imaging modalities including radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; special education contracted services spanning audiologists, diagnosticians, speech language therapists, occupational therapists, and related specialists; and temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The issuing bodies include a public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated facility in California), a school district (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara in California).

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, with San Mateo County and Santa Clara County posting opportunities in the third and second quarters of 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center solicitation (posted October 7, 2026, responses due October 21, 2026) is an RFP for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies and 5,000 cardiology studies, with mandatory EPIC integration and a five-year agreement term; local businesses may qualify for a 5–10% preference under county ordinance. The Santa Clara Health System solicitation (posted July 7, 2026, responses due October 7, 2026) is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with no guaranteed volume and a potential five-year qualified list. The coding mismatch suggests that buyers are misclassifying these opportunities or that the code itself is overused in the jurisdiction's taxonomy implementation; substantive procurement under the nuclear medicine imaging code itself is not visible in the recent-opportunities block.
