UNSPSC 85877017: Fluoroscopy of left ankle

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 BQ1HZZZ

UNSPSC 85877017 Fluoroscopy of left ankle is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific radiological imaging procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with the code's technical scope. The three opportunities on record—a diagnostic imaging PACS system procurement from San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services from Birdville Independent School District in Texas, and a temporary health professional staffing vendor-pool solicitation from Santa Clara County Health System—do not represent direct purchases of fluoroscopic imaging services. The San Mateo opportunity involves PACS infrastructure and enterprise radiology system implementation supporting multiple imaging modalities across 65,000 annual radiology studies, while the other two opportunities fall outside diagnostic imaging altogether and appear to be misclassified under this code.

This code shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement of actual fluoroscopy services or related imaging procedures. The geographic spread of the three posted opportunities spans California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), but none represents demand for the specific service the code nominally describes. Vendors evaluating this Commodity code should verify the actual scope of specific opportunities at posting, as the code's abstract name does not reflect the work state and local agencies are currently soliciting under it.
