UNSPSC 85882726: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper extremity using iodine 131 (i-131)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper extremity 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 CW1MGZZ

UNSPSC 85882726 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of upper extremity using iodine 131 (i-131) is a Commodity code with little evidence of direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code describes a highly specialized diagnostic imaging modality—nuclear medicine imaging using radioactive iodine-131 to visualize upper-extremity thyroid and vascular pathology—yet the three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve hospital picture archiving systems, school district special education staffing, and health system temporary clinical staffing, none of which align with the specific scope of planar nuclear medicine imaging. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code does not reflect active buying patterns in the jurisdictions currently posting opportunities.

The recent opportunities record shows San Mateo Medical Center (California county hospital), Birdville Independent School District (Texas), and Santa Clara County Health System (California) as recent posting bodies, but their solicitations address PACS system implementation, contracted special education services, and temporary health professional staffing respectively—scopes unrelated to nuclear medicine imaging procurement. No response dates, vendors, dollar values, or geographic concentration patterns specific to planar nuclear medicine imaging purchases appear in the source material. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant in current activity and verify the code assignment when encountering opportunities nominally tagged to it.
