UNSPSC 85882111: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of whole body using iodine 123 (i-123)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of whole body 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 CW1NFZZ

UNSPSC 85882111 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of whole body using iodine 123 (I-123) is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging modality, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code diverge substantially from that scope. The most prominent recent opportunity—a San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) posted October 7, 2026 with a response due date of October 21, 2026—involves enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, not nuclear medicine imaging specifically. The second tagged opportunity, a Birdville Independent School District (BISD) RFQ for special education contracted services (posted September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026), is entirely unrelated to medical imaging. A third opportunity from the County of Santa Clara Health System (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) solicits a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology but does not specify nuclear medicine modalities.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests this code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Issuers are predominantly public health systems and county health authorities (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and school districts, operating across California and Texas. The SMMC PACS opportunity, the closest to imaging-related work, emphasizes system architecture, data migration, and multi-planar visualization rather than specific nuclear medicine capabilities. None of the recent opportunities directly solicits nuclear medicine imaging services, procedures, or equipment. Firms pursuing this code should verify that opportunities tagged under 85882111 actually match their service line before responding, as mislabeling at the Commodity level appears common in this category.
