UNSPSC 85875402: Ultrasonography of appendix

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of appendix. 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 BD48ZZZ

UNSPSC 85875402 Ultrasonography of appendix is a Commodity code nominally designated for ultrasound imaging of a specific anatomical structure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows substantial divergence from the narrow clinical scope. The three most recent solicitations—a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation, a single-source ultrasound equipment procurement, and an on-call phlebotomy blood draw services contract—span enterprise health IT infrastructure, portable diagnostic equipment, and laboratory support services. The code appears in procurement notices from public health systems, county medical centers, and law enforcement agencies seeking clinical and operational support services rather than a discrete diagnostic procedure. Issuing bodies include San Mateo Medical Center (a public hospital and clinic system serving San Mateo County, California), Collier County Procurement Services Division (Florida), and the Albuquerque Police Department (New Mexico), reflecting a mix of county-level public health authorities and municipal agencies with occupational health or forensic specimen-collection missions.

The most recent activity concentrates in California, Florida, and New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP (due August 7, 2026) for enterprise PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, requiring EPIC Electronic Health Record integration, 99.9% system uptime, five-year support, and demonstrated vendor experience with public-sector PACS deployments. Collier County posted a Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous, Inc. (March 26, 2026) for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with TORSO-ONE USB probe, 5-year warranty, and carrying accessories. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB (due February 25, 2026) for on-call phlebotomy technician services across Bernalillo County with 24/7 coverage, one-hour response time, and an anticipated 300 annual service calls. The code's recent activity reflects broader clinical and occupational health support procurement rather than a focused specialty imaging line—the UNSPSC code assignment appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being solicited.
