UNSPSC 85882036: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck using iodine 123 (i-123)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck using iodine 123 (i-123). 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 CW1BFZZ

UNSPSC 85882036 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck using iodine 123 (i-123) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific radiological diagnostic procedure. However, recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the code's technical scope. The three most recent opportunities posted show no solicitations for nuclear medicine imaging services or related radiopharmaceuticals. Instead, the opportunities span diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (PACS implementation), school district special education contracting, and health system temporary staffing services—none of which correspond to planar nuclear medicine imaging using I-123. The mismatch suggests either mis-tagging by issuing bodies or that this code sees minimal or no relevant recent procurement activity in the state and local market.

The code shows little evidence of active state and local demand for the service it nominally describes. Without substantive recent opportunities properly aligned to nuclear medicine imaging procurement, prospective vendors should treat this code as inactive for current business development purposes and monitor for future solicitations that correctly tag nuclear medicine diagnostic services.
