UNSPSC 85882442: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using technetium 99m (tc-99m). 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 CW161ZZ

UNSPSC 85882442 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and neck using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with this narrow clinical scope. The three most recent solicitations involve health system Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) infrastructure, school district special education services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly procure tc-99m imaging services or the equipment to perform them. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees minimal direct procurement activity at the state and local level for the specific imaging modality it nominally describes.

The geographic distribution of the opportunities that were tagged includes California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but these represent health system infrastructure and personnel services rather than nuclear medicine imaging. San Mateo Medical Center's PACS RFP (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) is the closest to imaging-related procurement, but it addresses system architecture and data migration for multi-modality imaging rather than procedural acquisition of tc-99m studies. No recent opportunities in the source explicitly solicit tc-99m imaging services, equipment, or supplies. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify its accuracy in their target procurement records before investing pursuit effort, as the code's nominal scope and current state and local activity show no meaningful alignment.
