UNSPSC 85876525 Plain radiography of left forearm is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems procurement (a PACS platform), ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy blood draw services — none of which constitute plain radiography of a specific anatomical site as the code name describes. San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital system, is the one issuing body actively soliciting under related imaging infrastructure; however, that opportunity targets enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting multiple imaging modalities (radiology, cardiology, dental) rather than plain radiography alone. The code appears to be misapplied or overused by state and local procurement offices tagging broader diagnostic and clinical laboratory services that do not match the granular commodity definition.

Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County) and Florida (Collier County), with one opportunity from New Mexico (Albuquerque). San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS due August 7, 2026, seeking enterprise PACS software with EPIC integration, migration from legacy systems, and support for approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies; the County applies a 5–10% local preference for eligible vendors. Collier County issued a Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous, Inc. for ultrasound equipment (KOSMOS platform with TORSO-ONE probe) and a five-year warranty, with the contract period running March 26, 2026 to March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services due February 25, 2026, anticipating 300 annual calls with 24-hour, 365-day coverage across Bernalillo County. This code warrants watching only if your firm pursues diagnostic imaging or clinical laboratory services; the plain radiography label is a poor predictor of actual buying activity in state and local procurement under this taxonomy number.
