UNSPSC 85882454: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest using iodine 131 (i-131)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest using iodine 131 (i-131). 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 CW13GZZ

UNSPSC 85882454 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of chest using iodine 131 (i-131) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging system architecture (a PACS platform implementation at San Mateo Medical Center), special education contracted services (speech language therapists, occupational therapists, and related specialists at Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical categories (a qualified-vendor pool established by Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations describes the acquisition or use of planar nuclear medicine imaging procedures using iodine 131 isotope or related radiopharmaceutical services; the code-to-opportunity mismatch reflects tagging misalignment rather than active procurement demand under the code's actual scope.

The issuing bodies represent different institutional types — a county hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system — across California and Texas. Without recent opportunities that reflect the code's true scope, this code presents minimal opportunity for vendors offering nuclear medicine imaging services, isotope procurement, or related radiopharmaceutical support to state and local health systems. Practitioners should verify code assignment with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this commodity, as the current activity does not reflect acquisition of the imaging modality or associated services the code nominally describes.
