UNSPSC 85877038: Fluoroscopy of left hip using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of left hip using other contrast. 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 BQ11YZZ

UNSPSC 85877038 Fluoroscopy of left hip using other contrast is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it reflect a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope — a single radiological imaging procedure — and what public health systems and law enforcement agencies are actually procuring. The three recent opportunities show no direct connection to fluoroscopy imaging of the hip; instead, they span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (a Picture Archiving and Communication System), portable ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope. The issuing bodies include a county-operated medical center (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a county health or procurement division (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico), reflecting fragmented procurement across health systems and law enforcement rather than a coherent commodity family.

The recent opportunities are concentrated in California and Florida, with one example in New Mexico. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP on July 9, 2026, for a diagnostic imaging PACS due August 7, 2026, to replace an aging radiology system supporting 65,000 annual studies; Collier County issued a Notice of Intent on April 1, 2026, to single-source ultrasound equipment from EchoNous, Inc., with a contract term through March 2028; and the Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB on January 26, 2026, for on-call phlebotomy services due February 25, 2026. The mismatch between the code's fluoroscopy designation and the actual procurements suggests either a tagging error in the state and local database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for clinical imaging and diagnostic services outside its intended scope. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify the actual clinical service or imaging modality being solicited in each RFP rather than assuming a fluoroscopy-hip focus.
