UNSPSC 85882756: Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity using technetium 99m (tc-99m)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower 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 CP1C1ZZ

UNSPSC 85882756 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of right lower extremity using technetium 99m (tc-99m) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific radiopharmaceutical imaging procedure — does not align with the state and local contract activity recently tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve diagnostic imaging system software (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS procurement), school district special education contracted services (Birdville ISD), and health system temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles including diagnostic imaging (Santa Clara County Health System). Only the Santa Clara County solicitation touches imaging services at all, and even that is staffing-focused rather than imaging procedure or radiopharmaceutical services. The code shows no recent procurement activity for the planar nuclear medicine imaging procedure the taxonomy nominally describes.

State and local governments appear to have misclassified these three opportunities under this imaging commodity code. San Mateo Medical Center (a San Mateo County public hospital) posted an RFP for enterprise PACS software with implementation, data migration, and five-year support, due October 21, 2026, targeting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging. Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, issued a competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services across 23 categories with evaluation due October 21, 2026, bearing no connection to nuclear medicine imaging. Santa Clara County Health System established a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging/radiology, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed volume. Given the scope misalignment, firms pursuing actual nuclear medicine imaging opportunities should expect activity under different UNSPSC codes rather than this category.
