UNSPSC 85882449 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest and abdomen using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from a county health system, special education contracted services from a school district, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle from another county health system. None of these opportunities directly solicit planar nuclear medicine imaging services, tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals, or imaging equipment specific to that modality. The diagnostic imaging PACS opportunity from San Mateo Medical Center calls for enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation with EPIC integration to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations — a broad clinical imaging scope that does not isolate nuclear medicine. The health professional staffing vehicle from Santa Clara Health System explicitly includes diagnostic imaging/radiology as one of 13 ancillary clinical categories eligible for temporary staffing but does not narrow to nuclear medicine personnel or services.

The issuing bodies are county health systems and a county-operated school district, with the two county health systems (San Mateo and Santa Clara) appearing as the primary active buyers under this code in recent months. Geographic activity centers on California, specifically San Mateo County and Santa Clara County, with one Texas-based school district opportunity also tagged. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS procurement, posted October 7, 2026 with a proposal due date of October 21, 2026, represents the most substantial recent opportunity and carries a local preference of 5–10% under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing RFQ, posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026, is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year maintenance period. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.
