UNSPSC 85875507: Ultrasonography of placenta

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of placenta. 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 BY48ZZZ

UNSPSC 85875507 Ultrasonography of placenta is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local purchasing activity. The three most recent solicitations under this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a PACS system), portable ultrasound equipment and warranties, and phlebotomy blood draw services—none of which represent obstetric ultrasonography or placental imaging as the code name suggests. State and local governments posting under this code are primarily hospital systems and public health agencies, though the issuing bodies represent a fragmented set: San Mateo Medical Center (a county-operated acute-care system), Collier County through its Procurement Services Division, and the Albuquerque Police Department through its Scientific Evidence Division. The code appears to serve as a catch-all for medical diagnostic and laboratory services rather than a precise match for placental imaging work.

Recent activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with one solicitation in New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) issued an RFP due August 7, 2026, for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration, requiring vendor experience with large public-sector health systems and five-year agreements. Collier County, Florida, posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source on April 1, 2026, for EchoNous KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with a five-year warranty, though that posting date preceded its March 26, 2026, deadline. The Albuquerque Police Department issued a Request for Bids on January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026, for on-call phlebotomy technicians providing blood draw services—a service unrelated to the code's obstetric imaging focus. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement suggests either tagging error or broad interpretation of diagnostic and medical imaging support services.
