UNSPSC 85882814: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen and pelvis using iodine 123 (i-123)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen and pelvis using iodine 123 (i-123). 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 CW21FZZ

UNSPSC 85882814 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen and pelvis using iodine 123 (I-123) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect tomographic nuclear medicine imaging using I-123. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover broader health system technology and staffing procurements: San Mateo Medical Center solicited a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) serving radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations; Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services; and Birdville Independent School District sought special education contracted services including related evaluations and therapy. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope of nuclear medicine imaging procedures.

Issuing bodies span county health systems and school districts in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated hospital and clinic system) posted an RFP due October 21, 2026, requiring PACS vendors to demonstrate EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, five-year implementations, and HIPAA compliance with a local preference of 5–10% under San Mateo County ordinance. Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification solicitation due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive multiple-award vendor pool with no guaranteed work and a five-year qualified-list retention period. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific radiopharmaceutical imaging procedure—and the actual opportunities posted under it (enterprise imaging systems and health professional staffing) suggests this code may be misapplied by issuing bodies or reflects data-entry error in the source records rather than a meaningful procurement category for nuclear medicine tomographic imaging.
