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 CW13YZZ

UNSPSC 85882450 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest using other radionuclide is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows minimal direct alignment with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a PACS system implementation), special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — only one of which involves imaging services at all. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation does encompass cardiology and radiology imaging workflows, but does not specifically target nuclear medicine planar imaging; the other two opportunities—special education diagnostician and therapist services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—bear no clear connection to the code's stated definition. This suggests either broad tagging by issuing bodies or a code misclassification in the state and local system.

The single remotely relevant recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP (Solicitation 660002526251) for Diagnostic Imaging PACS, due October 21, 2026, which seeks an enterprise-grade system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, handling approximately 65,000 radiology studies and 5,000 cardiology studies annually. Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052), due October 7, 2026, establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging/radiology staffing as one of thirteen eligible health professional categories, though placement on the Qualified List does not guarantee work volume. Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties). The code shows limited recent relevant procurement activity; business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies when pursuing imaging or health services opportunities, as the taxonomy classification does not clearly reflect current state and local buying patterns under this Commodity.
