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 BQ1HYZZ

UNSPSC 85877018 Fluoroscopy of left ankle using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code name describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — radiological examination of the ankle joint — yet the three recent opportunities posted under this code classify work spanning enterprise Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) implementation, special education contracted services including audiologists and speech therapists, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities are soliciting fluoroscopy services themselves or individual diagnostic imaging procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly by the issuing bodies, or state and local procurement systems are using it as a catch-all proxy for health care or diagnostic imaging procurement broadly.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies from California (San Mateo Medical Center and Santa Clara Health System) and Texas (Birdville Independent School District), with response dates spanning July through October 2026. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS with a due date of October 21, 2026, requesting enterprise software and implementation supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually with EPIC integration and five-year agreement terms. Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, with proposals due October 7, 2026 on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed volume. Given the code's lack of alignment with actual procurement under it, this category offers limited guidance for pursuing work matching the fluoroscopy commodity itself.
