UNSPSC 85876548: Ultrasonography of upper extremity connective tissue

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of upper extremity connective tissue. 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 BL40ZZZ

UNSPSC 85876548 Ultrasonography of upper extremity connective tissue is a Commodity code showing minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities tagged under this code diverge substantially from upper-extremity ultrasound services: San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for enterprise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation targets radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure rather than point-of-care ultrasound; Collier County's single-source notice for EchoNous KOSMOS equipment with TORSO-ONE USB Probe is positioned for torso imaging and portable field use; and Albuquerque Police Department's RFB for blood draw services involves phlebotomy technicians with no imaging component. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not capture current state and local buying patterns for ultrasound services.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with a secondary opportunity in New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County, California) posted the most detailed RFP on July 9, 2026, with proposals due August 7, 2026, emphasizing EPIC EHR integration, 99.9% uptime requirements, and five-year agreement terms; the solicitation includes a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent on April 1, 2026, to single-source EchoNous equipment with a March 26, 2026, submission deadline for alternative-source challenges. The absence of true upper-extremity connective-tissue ultrasound opportunities and the prevalence of either institutional PACS or portable field equipment suggests that practitioners pursuing contracts under this code should verify with issuing bodies whether miscoding has occurred or whether sourcing patterns have shifted to higher-level family or class codes capturing broader diagnostic imaging or point-of-care ultrasound categories.
