UNSPSC 85882012: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of pelvic region using iodine 131 (i-131)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of pelvic region using iodine 131 (i-131). 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 CW2JGZZ

UNSPSC 85882012 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of pelvic region using iodine 131 (i-131), a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific medical imaging procedure using radiopharmaceuticals, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect diagnostic imaging acquisition, performance, or related nuclear medicine services. Instead, they capture health professional staffing and system infrastructure procurement—including PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local healthcare systems, school districts, and county health authorities are the issuing bodies active under this code in the recent record, but the work being solicited does not align with the code's procedural and pharmaceutical specificity.

The three most recent opportunities—San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS with proposals due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District's (BISD) special education contracted services RFP due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026—illustrate this disconnect. The PACS solicitation involves enterprise software implementation and data migration but not nuclear medicine imaging acquisition. The special education and temporary staffing opportunities fall entirely outside diagnostic imaging scope. Geographic activity is dispersed across California (San Mateo, Santa Clara) and Texas (Birdville), but the code's nominal specificity suggests it is not the appropriate classification for these procurements. Bidders pursuing work under this code should verify that issuing bodies are actually soliciting nuclear medicine procedures or related diagnostic services before investing in proposal development.
