UNSPSC 85882431: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest using fluorine 18 (f-18)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest using fluorine 18 (f-18). 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 CW23KZZ

UNSPSC 85882431 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of chest using fluorine 18 (f-18) is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom tier of the United Nations Standard Products and Services Code taxonomy. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope — the three opportunities identified cover diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation (San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations directly procure tomographic nuclear medicine imaging services or equipment using F-18 tracers. The mismatch suggests this code receives minimal substantive procurement activity in state and local markets, or opportunities tagged to it reflect broader diagnostic imaging or health professional services categories that do not match the specific modality named.

The geographic spread represented in the recent opportunities spans California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but these examples do not support the conclusion that nuclear medicine imaging procurement occurs at scale under this code in those states or elsewhere. No recent opportunities show purchasing bodies explicitly soliciting F-18 PET imaging services, equipment, radiopharmaceuticals, or related consumables. State and local health systems, county medical centers, and school district health services remain active procurement venues, but the absence of aligned opportunities under this specific code suggests it is not a current focus for business development in state and local health procurement.
