UNSPSC 85876540: Plain radiography of left shoulder using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left shoulder using other 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 BP09YZZ

UNSPSC 85876540 Plain radiography of left shoulder using other contrast is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a specific radiological procedure — and the work actually being solicited. The three recent opportunities include a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) implementation for a county hospital system, a single-source procurement of ultrasound equipment, and a blood draw services contract for a police department. None of these solicitations align with the procedural radiography the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for diagnostic imaging, medical equipment, and clinical services rather than for discrete radiological procedures. The issuing bodies span a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center), a county procurement division (Collier County, Florida), and a city police department (Albuquerque, New Mexico), indicating that the code attracts buyers across health systems, general county government, and law enforcement.

The geographic spread evident in recent activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP due August 7, 2026, for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging, with migration from an existing ScImage system and support for 100 concurrent users; the county applies a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous, Inc., for KOSMOS ultrasound platform equipment and a five-year warranty, posted April 1, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 26, 2026. The Albuquerque Police Department solicited on-call blood draw services via RFB due February 25, 2026, seeking 24-hour, 365-day coverage across Bernalillo County with an anticipated 300 annual calls and a three-year initial term renewable for up to two additional one-year periods. The code shows low recent activity in genuine radiological procedure procurement and significant misalignment with its nominal scope.
