UNSPSC 85882436: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using other radionuclide

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar 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 CW16YZZ

UNSPSC 85882436 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using other radionuclide is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS implementation), school-based special education services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories — none of which represent the specific nuclear medicine imaging equipment or services the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns in nuclear medicine or related diagnostic imaging.

The geographic distribution of the three opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the volume of activity is too sparse to characterize meaningful concentration. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted October 7, 2026 with a response date of October 21, 2026, is an enterprise PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration — a systems-level procurement rather than imaging equipment or procedures. The other two solicitations (a school district special education staffing contract and a county health system temporary clinical staffing vehicle) bear no clear relationship to nuclear medicine imaging. No recent opportunities in the source directly solicit nuclear medicine imaging equipment, radionuclide agents, imaging procedures, or related clinical services.
