UNSPSC 85882421: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest and abdomen using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest and abdomen using thallium 201 (tl-201). 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 CW24SZZ

UNSPSC 85882421 Tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of chest and abdomen using thallium 201 (TL-201) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code are a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and temporary health professional staffing services across Santa Clara County Health System — none of which directly involve thallium-201 nuclear medicine imaging or tomographic nuclear medicine services. The PACS solicitation addresses enterprise picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration; the education solicitation covers speech therapists, occupational therapists, and related services; and the health professional staffing RFQ establishes a qualified vendor pool for audiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, and other ancillary clinical roles on an as-needed basis. These opportunities reflect broader health system infrastructure, staffing, and clinical support services rather than the specific nuclear medicine modality the code nominally covers.

The geographic distribution of these three records spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The issuing bodies are a county public hospital system, a school district, and a county health system — a mix typical of state and local healthcare and education procurement. Response dates in the recent block range from July through October 2026, but none of these solicitations appear to be procuring thallium-201 imaging services, imaging protocols, or nuclear medicine equipment and supplies. The code may see activity in state and local hospital and health department procurement, but the current visible record does not support a concrete picture of what state and local governments are actually buying under this specific UNSPSC designation.
