UNSPSC 85876535: Plain radiography of left upper arm

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left upper arm. 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 BP0FZZZ

UNSPSC 85876535 Plain radiography of left upper arm is a Commodity code nominally addressing X-ray imaging of a specific anatomical site, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect a much broader scope: diagnostic imaging system infrastructure, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services for law enforcement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for diagnostic and clinical services rather than for plain radiography specifically. The issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center in California), county procurement divisions managing single-source acquisitions (Collier County, Florida), and municipal police departments establishing on-call clinical support contracts (Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico). The work being solicited ranges from enterprise-scale Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementations with EPIC EHR integration to point-of-care ultrasound equipment and certified phlebotomy technician pools.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across California, Florida, and New Mexico, with no clear concentration. San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP due August 7, 2026, for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS supporting 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, requiring 99.9% uptime, EPIC integration, and nine- to twelve-month implementation with a five-year agreement term and local preference available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Collier County Procurement Services issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source EchoNous, Inc., posted April 1, 2026, for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment with a 5-year warranty, running through March 25, 2028. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB due February 25, 2026, for on-call certified phlebotomy technician services at approximately 300 calls annually across Bernalillo County with 24/7 coverage and one-hour response requirements. The code's use across these three disparate service categories indicates either broad misclassification or state and local procurement systems categorizing all clinical and diagnostic services under a single radiology code.
