UNSPSC 85876305: Plain radiography of upper extremity

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of upper extremity. 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 BW0JZZZ

UNSPSC 85876305 Plain radiography of upper extremity (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchase of radiography services or equipment; instead, they represent diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a PACS system), special education contracted services (speech therapy, occupational therapy, and related evaluations), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties including radiology. The mismatch between the code's narrow commodity definition and the actual solicitations suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or rarely used for direct radiography work. San Mateo Medical Center and the County of Santa Clara Health System are the issuing health-system entities appearing in recent records, alongside Birdville Independent School District (which solicited therapy and evaluation services unrelated to radiography).

The recent state and local opportunities showing any radiography or imaging relevance—the San Mateo Medical Center PACS implementation (RFP, due October 21, 2026) and the Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing solicitation including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology (RFQ, due October 7, 2026)—are concentrated in California and represent enterprise-level imaging infrastructure and contingent staffing support rather than radiography services themselves. No opportunities in the block reflect direct procurement of radiography services, equipment, or technician contracting. Firms pursuing work in plain radiography or upper-extremity imaging should verify current UNSPSC tagging within target state and local procurement systems and consider whether related codes in the diagnostic imaging family—or codes covering health professional staffing or imaging equipment—may better capture actual buying patterns in their jurisdictions.
