UNSPSC 85882818: Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen using thallium 201 (tl-201)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen 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 CW20SZZ

UNSPSC 85882818 Tomographic (tomo) nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen using thallium 201 (tl-201) is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local contracting activity appearing in recent solicitations. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties — none of which directly procure tomographic nuclear medicine imaging services as the code name suggests. The PACS solicitation from San Mateo Medical Center does encompass enterprise radiology and cardiology imaging infrastructure, but the focus is on picture archiving and communication system software, implementation, migration, and support rather than specific imaging modalities or radiopharmaceutical protocols.

The geographic spread of recent activity under this code spans California (San Mateo County) and Texas (Tarrant County) with additional activity in California's Santa Clara County Health System. The issuing bodies include county hospital systems and independent school districts, reflecting a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement function. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (due October 21, 2026) seeks a PACS implementation supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations with 99.9% uptime and EPIC integration; the Santa Clara Health System RFQ (due October 7, 2026) qualifies vendors for temporary staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology; and the Birdville Independent School District ITB (due October 21, 2026) covers 23 lines of special education contracted services. The code shows little relevant recent activity for tomographic nuclear medicine imaging procurement specifically.
