UNSPSC 85871001: Ultrasonography of spinal cord

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of spinal cord. 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 B04BZZZ

UNSPSC 85871001 Ultrasonography of spinal cord is a Commodity code for specialized diagnostic imaging procedures, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it reflect broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure and staffing needs rather than spinal cord ultrasound services specifically. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) RFP solicits enterprise imaging software supporting radiology, cardiology, dental, and mammography workflows across 65,000 radiology studies and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually—a systems acquisition that encompasses imaging modalities far beyond ultrasound alone. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 solicitation establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging/radiology staffing as one category among thirteen ancillary health professional services, while Birdville Independent School District's September 2026 special education services RFP is unrelated to diagnostic imaging. The issuing bodies are county health systems and school districts; health system procurement is the primary user of this code in the recent record.

Activity appears concentrated in California, with San Mateo County and Santa Clara County each posting large diagnostic imaging or health professional staffing solicitations in the recent period. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP (due October 21, 2026) requires EPIC EHR integration, 99.9% uptime, and migration from a legacy ScImage system; proposals are evaluated 30% on project approach, 25% on firm qualifications, 20% on team qualifications, and 25% on price, with a local 5–10% preference available under county ordinance. The Santa Clara Health System vendor-pool solicitation (due October 7, 2026) is non-exclusive and multiple-award, with no guaranteed work, and maintains the qualified list for five years. Neither opportunity directly specifies spinal cord ultrasound as a line item, suggesting the code assignment may reflect administrative tagging of broader diagnostic imaging procurements rather than targeted purchasing of this specific modality.
