UNSPSC 85876530: Plain radiography of left elbow using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left elbow using high osmolar contrast. 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 BP0H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85876530 Plain radiography of left elbow using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code describes a specific radiological imaging procedure, yet the three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (a PACS platform), ultrasound equipment supply, and phlebotomy services — none of which constitute plain radiography services or the clinical delivery of contrast-based imaging procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this code is being applied to broader diagnostic imaging and clinical laboratory support rather than to the specific procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do source diagnostic imaging infrastructure, equipment, and ancillary clinical services, but the tagged opportunities do not reflect procurement of the imaging service itself or related supplies and personnel for radiographic procedures.

The issuing bodies represented are a county public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a county procurement office for equipment supply (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department for forensic phlebotomy (Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico). Activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico, with notice types including RFP (San Mateo), Notice of Intent to Single Source (Collier), and RFB (Albuquerque). The San Mateo RFP, due August 7, 2026, sought an enterprise PACS system with EPIC integration to support 65,000 annual radiology studies; the Collier County notice issued March 26, 2026, addressed ultrasound equipment procurement; and the Albuquerque RFB, due February 25, 2026, addressed on-call phlebotomy services. The code shows minimal focused activity relevant to the radiographic imaging service it nominally describes.
