UNSPSC 85882508: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of gastrointestinal tract using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of gastrointestinal tract 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 CD171ZZ

UNSPSC 85882508 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of gastrointestinal tract using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code are a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement by San Mateo Medical Center, a special education contracted services RFP by Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle by the County of Santa Clara Health System. Of these, only the San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation involves imaging technology; the other two opportunities—special education services and temporary clinical staffing—are unrelated to nuclear medicine imaging of the gastrointestinal tract. The code does not reflect recent state and local demand for the specific nuclear medicine diagnostic service it nominally describes.

San Mateo Medical Center, posting on October 7, 2026 with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, is requesting an enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS with EPIC integration to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually. The project includes migration of existing imaging data from a legacy ScImage system and implementation of advanced visualization capabilities, with evaluation criteria weighting project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). A local preference of 5–10% is available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. The limited activity in this code, combined with the mismatch between its name and two of the three recent postings, suggests that state and local procurement offices may be tagging opportunities inconsistently or that this code does not reflect actual demand for planar nuclear medicine imaging services in the current market.
