UNSPSC 85875223 Plain radiography of sternum is a Commodity code covering diagnostic imaging capture and interpretation services purchased by state and local health systems. The recent opportunities solicited under this code reflect a broader clinical and operational scope than the code's nominal title suggests: state and local buyers are acquiring comprehensive diagnostic imaging systems, advanced visualization capabilities, and specialized clinical support services rather than plain sternum radiography alone. San Mateo Medical Center's 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system demonstrates the scale—the facility performs approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with requirements for enterprise-grade PACS implementation, 3D imaging, multi-planar reconstruction, EPIC integration, and 99.9% uptime across 100 concurrent users. Issuing bodies under this code include county health systems and public hospital networks; San Mateo County's Medical Center and Collier County's health procurement services are recent active buyers. The code also captures specialized clinical diagnostic services such as phlebotomy and ultrasound procurement—the Albuquerque Police Department's 2026 RFB for on-call blood draw services reflects law enforcement health and evidence-collection use cases that fall within the broader diagnostic services taxonomy.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Florida, with New Mexico also showing recent procurement. San Mateo County issued its PACS RFP on July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, at 1:00 PM; the project is valued for nine to twelve months of implementation on a five-year agreement term, with evaluation weighted 30 points for project approach, 25 points for firm qualifications, 20 points for team qualifications, and 25 points for price. A local preference of 5–10% is available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc., on April 1, 2026, for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with a five-year product warranty, though that notice's March 26, 2026, deadline has passed. The Albuquerque Police Department's blood draw services RFB (RFB-2025-748-POL-DZ) closed February 25, 2026. Vendors pursuing this code should expect requirements for HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance, living wage ordinances, and demonstrated public-sector or large health system experience with similar implementations.
