UNSPSC 85877036: Fluoroscopy of right femur

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right femur. 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 BQ13ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877036 Fluoroscopy of right femur is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, but the three most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification actually solicit enterprise imaging systems, school district special education services, and health professional staffing — none of which map directly to fluoroscopy of the right femur as a billable service or supply item. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) posted an RFP on October 7, 2026 for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation due October 21, 2026, which addresses radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging infrastructure rather than a specific procedural code. The second opportunity, Birdville Independent School District's RFP for special education contracted services due October 21, 2026, has no connection to imaging services. The third opportunity, Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026, establishes a qualified vendor pool for multiple ancillary clinical roles including diagnostic imaging and radiology but does not reference specific imaging procedures.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent procurement activity suggests that UNSPSC 85877036 may be miscoded in state and local systems or sees minimal direct procurement as a discrete service line. The issuing bodies — a county hospital system, a school district, and a county health system — span different sectors and geographies (California and Texas), but their actual purchases concern system implementation, staffing resources, and special services rather than individual imaging procedures. For vendors pursuing opportunities in imaging, radiology equipment, or health professional staffing, this code appears to offer little actionable signal. Direct examination of RFPs from radiology departments, hospital imaging procurement offices, or diagnostic services contracts would likely reveal more accurate UNSPSC coding or higher-tier family codes related to imaging systems and services.
