UNSPSC 85882440: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using iodine 123 (i-123)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck 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 CW16FZZ

UNSPSC 85882440 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using iodine 123 (I-123) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — radiopharmaceutical diagnostic imaging services — does not match the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The three most recent solicitations under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems architecture (PACS implementation), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related professional services), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. None of these opportunities entails nuclear medicine imaging using iodine 123 or radiopharmaceutical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

Geographic and issuing-body activity under this code spans California (San Mateo County Medical Center, Santa Clara County Health System) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District), with opportunities posted between July and October 2026. San Mateo Medical Center's October 7, 2026 RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS sought enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, with proposals due October 21, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal radiopharmaceutical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code may not be the appropriate classification vehicle for these solicitations, or that issuing bodies are applying the code inconsistently across heterogeneous clinical service categories.
