UNSPSC 85875279: Plain radiography of bilateral sternoclavicular joints

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bilateral sternoclavicular joints. 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 BP02ZZZ

UNSPSC 85875279 Plain radiography of bilateral sternoclavicular joints is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single diagnostic imaging procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's narrow scope. The three most recent solicitations involve enterprise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, special education contracted services including therapy and diagnostics, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. Of these, only the Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing solicitation and San Mateo Medical Center PACS implementation tangentially reference diagnostic imaging, but neither is specific to bilateral sternoclavicular joint radiography. The mismatch suggests this code may be capturing a broader range of health system procurement activity or reflects tagging inconsistency in the source systems. Issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county health system (Santa Clara Health System), and a school district (Birdville Independent School District); the school district opportunity is unrelated to diagnostic imaging and appears miscoded.

Recent activity spans California and Texas. San Mateo County Medical Center posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS due October 21, 2026, seeking enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, 2–5 second image load times, and completion within 9–12 months; the County offers a 5–10% local preference under Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89 and applies San Mateo County Living Wage Ordinance requirements. Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFsqhhsfy270052) due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, with no guaranteed work and a potential five-year list duration. The narrow commodity code definition and the breadth of actual solicitations suggest this code sees limited relevant procurement activity for bilateral sternoclavicular radiography specifically.
