UNSPSC 85882510: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper gastrointestinal tract using indium 111 (in-111)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper gastrointestinal tract using indium 111 (in-111). 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 CD15DZZ

UNSPSC 85882510 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper gastrointestinal tract using indium 111 (in-111) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The three recent opportunities posted under this code—a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing at Santa Clara Health System—do not align with the code's nominal scope of radiopharmaceutical imaging procedures. The PACS solicitation involves enterprise software and system integration for radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging but does not address nuclear medicine imaging agents or procedures. The other two opportunities fall entirely outside imaging or nuclear medicine. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies or that state and local procurement systems are using this UNSPSC designation for services and systems tangentially related to diagnostic imaging infrastructure rather than the specific planar nuclear medicine procedures the code describes.

Geographic activity is limited to California and Texas based on the posted opportunities, with San Mateo County and Santa Clara County in California and Tarrant County in Texas represented. The issuing bodies are county health systems and school districts rather than state departments or dedicated nuclear medicine procurement offices. Without substantive recent opportunities aligned to the code's actual commodity definition, pursuing activity under this code presents minimal opportunity for vendors offering nuclear medicine imaging services or radiopharmaceuticals. Clarifying the intended use and accurate code assignment with issuing bodies before proposal submission is advisable.
