UNSPSC 85882750: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of right upper extremity using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of right upper extremity 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 CP281ZZ

UNSPSC 85882750 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of right upper extremity using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity among state and local buyers. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District, and temporary health professional staffing from Santa Clara Health System—do not align with the specific clinical imaging procedure the code nominally describes. The PACS solicitation includes diagnostic imaging infrastructure and enterprise picture archiving that encompasses radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging systems, but is not a procurement of tc-99m imaging studies themselves. The other two opportunities (special education services and temporary health professional staffing) bear no relationship to nuclear medicine imaging. This mismatch suggests the code may be incorrectly applied in state and local procurement databases, or that actual demand for this specific imaging procedure is routed through different coding structures or procurement pathways.

State and local health systems, counties, and hospital operators do solicit imaging-related services and infrastructure through UNSPSC codes in this family, as evidenced by San Mateo County's PACS implementation RFP posted October 7, 2026 with an October 21 response deadline. However, the code itself does not reflect a current, active market for standalone tc-99m imaging procedures among the jurisdictions tracked in recent state and local contract databases. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as a low-activity commodity and investigate whether their target customers employ alternative classification schemes or whether imaging services are bundled under broader health services procurement vehicles rather than itemized as discrete imaging modalities.
