UNSPSC 85876525: Plain radiography of left forearm

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left forearm. 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 BP0KZZZ

UNSPSC 85876525 Plain radiography of left forearm is a Commodity code that represents specific diagnostic imaging procedures; however, the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under this code does not align with the nominal scope. The three opportunities posted between July and October 2026 reflect health system and school district procurement of broader clinical staffing, imaging infrastructure, and education services rather than individual radiography procedures. San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS system procurement—migrating from legacy ScImage infrastructure, supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies, and requiring EPIC integration—represents enterprise imaging-system contracting rather than the performance of plain radiography services themselves. The Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing includes diagnostic imaging and radiology as one of thirteen eligible service categories in an ancillary staffing pool vehicle. Birdville Independent School District's September 2026 RFP for special education contracted services spans 23 line items including diagnostician and evaluation roles but includes no imaging or radiology components. The code's recent posting activity suggests either systematic miscoding by procurement offices or a disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy boundaries and how state and local health systems and districts actually structure clinical service and system acquisitions.

The three opportunities originate from California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County health systems) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District in Tarrant County), indicating fragmented geographic activity across health-care purchasing and education. No repeat buyers appear in the recent records, and the opportunities represent fundamentally different service categories—imaging infrastructure procurement, staffing qualification pools, and education services contracting—rather than radiology procedure volume or billing. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for firms offering plain radiography services or imaging performed services under traditional state and local procurement vehicles; bidding strategy should focus on the issuing bodies' actual procurement intent rather than the UNSPSC code classification.
