UNSPSC 85877031 Fluoroscopy of right knee is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging system procurement (a PACS platform at San Mateo Medical Center), ultrasound equipment and licensing (Collier County, Florida), and phlebotomy services (Albuquerque Police Department) — none of which represent fluoroscopy of a specific anatomical site. State and local governments appear to use this code as a catch-all tag for diagnostic medical imaging and related clinical services when more granular codes do not fit. The solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, a county-operated hospital and clinic system), county procurement offices (Collier County), and municipal police departments (Albuquerque). The scope spans enterprise-grade PACS implementations with EHR integration, portable ultrasound platforms and warranties, and on-call clinical phlebotomy services — a broad functional range that reflects coding misalignment rather than a coherent procurement category.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), and New Mexico (Albuquerque), with no concentration visible in the limited sample. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (posted July 9, 2026, due August 7, 2026) seeks an enterprise PACS system to replace a legacy ScImage installation and support 65,000 annual radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations, with evaluation weighted 30 points on project approach, 25 on firm qualifications, 20 on team qualifications, and 25 on price, and a five-year agreement term. Collier County issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous Inc. for KOSMOS ultrasound equipment with a five-year warranty and custom carrying bag (posted April 1, 2026, with a March 26, 2026 deadline). The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB for on-call phlebotomy services (posted January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026) anticipating 300 annual calls with twenty-four-hour, 365-day coverage and one-hour response time. This code shows little coherent procurement activity and the opportunities present do not align with the nominal fluoroscopy scope.
