UNSPSC 85882412: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck 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 CW26YZZ

UNSPSC 85882412 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using other radionuclide is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) infrastructure procurement, special education contracted services (audiologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and related specialists), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The PACS opportunity from San Mateo Medical Center represents enterprise imaging software and system migration work rather than the radionuclide imaging service the code nominally describes. The special education and temporary staffing solicitations from Birdville Independent School District and Santa Clara County Health System encompass a broad spectrum of allied health services but do not specifically address nuclear medicine imaging modalities. State and local governments appear to use this code to categorize diverse clinical support services and imaging infrastructure rather than as a designation for the specific tomographic nuclear imaging procedures the commodity name suggests.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the opportunities themselves diverge substantially from the code's scope. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for PACS implementation on October 7, 2026, with proposals due October 21, 2026, seeking enterprise-grade imaging system replacement with EPIC integration and support for 65,000 annual radiology studies. Santa Clara County Health System posted a solicitation on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing including diagnostic imaging and radiology services on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis. Birdville Independent School District in Texas posted on September 18, 2026, due October 21, 2026, seeking special education contracted services. The code shows little substantive recent procurement activity directly aligned with tomographic nuclear medicine imaging services; the mismatch between the commodity name and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code does not routinely capture state and local purchasing in the nuclear medicine imaging space.
