UNSPSC 85875139: Fluoroscopy of upper airways

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of upper airways. 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 BB1DZZZ

UNSPSC 85875139 Fluoroscopy of upper airways, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which directly match upper-airways fluoroscopy as a clinical procedure or product line. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) in California is soliciting an enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) with EPIC integration to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually; Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous, Inc. for a KOSMOS ultrasound platform with TORSO-ONE USB probe and related software licensing; and the Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services for blood draws across Bernalillo County. The issuing bodies represent a mix of county health systems (San Mateo County, Collier County) and municipal law enforcement (APD), suggesting healthcare and public-safety procurement across different jurisdiction types.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with New Mexico also represented. The SMMC RFP (due August 7, 2026) represents the most substantial recent opportunity, evaluating proposals on project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a 9–12 month implementation window and five-year agreement term; SMMC offers a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and requires HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance and adherence to the County Living Wage Ordinance (minimum $17.00 per hour). The Collier County single-source notice (posted April 1, 2026, with a March 26, 2026 deadline) and the APD RFB (due February 25, 2026) are not substantially active given their published deadlines have passed. The code's recent posting pattern suggests a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy classification and the actual work being transacted, warranting clarification on whether this code is the appropriate filter for these procurement categories.
