UNSPSC 85882038: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck 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 CW1B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85882038 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of head and neck using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local activity. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code — a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System — do not align with the nominal scope of planar nuclear medicine imaging using tc-99m. The San Mateo solicitation addresses enterprise radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging system architecture rather than a specific tc-99m imaging modality; the Birdville and Santa Clara opportunities fall entirely outside nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging scope, covering education support services and general health professional staffing respectively.

The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually solicited suggests either tagging misalignment in the source data or that this Commodity code does not currently drive procurement activity in state and local healthcare systems. Practitioners pursuing nuclear medicine imaging equipment, radiopharmaceutical services, or related diagnostics should verify code alignment directly with issuing health systems and county procurement offices rather than relying on this code's recent solicitation record.
