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 BP09YZZ

UNSPSC 85876540 Plain radiography of left shoulder using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure; however, recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not procure individual radiography services or imaging procedures themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are sourcing diagnostic imaging infrastructure, enterprise PACS systems, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories including radiology and diagnostic imaging roles. San Mateo Medical Center, the County of Santa Clara Health System, and Birdville Independent School District are among recent solicitors. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural scope and the broader infrastructure and staffing being procured suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code as a catch-all for imaging-related and health professional services rather than as a precise match to radiography procedures.

The most recent opportunities include San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, due October 21, 2026, which requires enterprise-grade PACS supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC Electronic Health Record integration and data migration from the existing ScImage system; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories including Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services, due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for five years; and Birdville Independent School District's competitive sealed proposals for special education contracted services, due October 21, 2026, which appears unrelated to diagnostic imaging scope. Activity is concentrated in California and Texas, though the code's actual relevance to imaging-specific procurement appears narrow.
