This classification denotes the group of activities that yields an intervention or procedure of planar nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen 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 CW10FZZ

UNSPSC 85882836 Planar nuclear medicine imaging of abdomen using iodine 123 (I-123) is a Commodity code that describes a specific diagnostic imaging modality, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not match its narrow technical scope. The three most recent solicitations posted under this code span diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) infrastructure, special education contracted services including speech and occupational therapy, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a single radiopharmaceutical imaging procedure—and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is being used inconsistently by issuing bodies, or that the opportunities have been tagged incorrectly in the state and local procurement system. State and local buyers posting under this code include public health systems (San Mateo County's hospital network, Santa Clara County Health System), school districts (Birdville Independent School District in Texas), and county health agencies.

Activity is concentrated in California and Texas. The most recent representative opportunities are San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS with a due date of October 21, 2026, which requires enterprise-grade system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration and a five-year agreement term; the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposal for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026. The code shows limited and inconsistent recent activity directly aligned with its stated commodity definition, suggesting it may warrant review for recategorization or that opportunities are being filed under an incorrect classification.
