UNSPSC 85882620: Planar 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 planar 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 CG11SZZ

UNSPSC 85882620 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of parathyroid glands using thallium 201 (tl-201) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code show little connection to nuclear medicine parathyroid imaging: San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) is soliciting an enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS system supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography; Birdville Independent School District (BISD) is requesting special education contracted services including audiologists and speech language therapists; and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, and therapy services. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (a highly specialized nuclear imaging procedure) and the actual solicitations (general health information systems, education services, and broad clinical staffing) suggests that state and local procurement offices are either mis-tagging opportunities or using this code as a catch-all for health-related services beyond its intended scope.

Recent activity appears in California and Texas, grounded in San Mateo County's PACS RFP (due October 21, 2026), Santa Clara County's temporary staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026), and BISD's special education services RFP (due October 21, 2026). None of these solicitations explicitly address nuclear medicine, parathyroid imaging, or thallium 201 procedures. The code shows no clear recent opportunity pipeline aligned to its stated commodity, making pursuit decisions difficult without direct engagement with issuing health systems or county procurement offices to clarify their actual classification intent.
