UNSPSC 85882610: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of parathyroid glands using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of parathyroid glands using thallium 201 (tl-201). 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 CG21SZZ

UNSPSC 85882610 Tomographic nuclear medicine imaging of parathyroid glands using thallium 201, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code—a San Mateo County medical center's diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement, a Texas school district's special education contracted services solicitation, and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle—fall outside nuclear medicine imaging and parathyroid diagnostics entirely. The PACS solicitation addresses enterprise picture archiving and communication systems for radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; the school district opportunity covers audiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and related special education services; and the Santa Clara Health System RFQ targets temporary staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other ancillary clinical categories, but makes no reference to nuclear medicine protocols or parathyroid-specific imaging procedures.

The code appears to reflect a taxonomy mismatch rather than active state and local demand. The recent opportunities demonstrate that state and local health systems and school districts procure diagnostic imaging infrastructure and temporary clinical staffing at scale—San Mateo Medical Center alone conducts 65,000 radiology studies and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, and Santa Clara Health System maintains a five-year qualified vendor list—but none of these solicitations specifically target nuclear medicine, thallium-201 imaging, or parathyroid diagnostics as a line item or service category. If your firm provides parathyroid nuclear medicine imaging services or thallium-201 diagnostic capability, this code appears unlikely to surface relevant opportunities under current state and local procurement tagging practices. Monitor state hospital system RFPs and radiology services vehicles instead, but flag this code as a watch item only.
