UNSPSC 85877052: Plain radiography of right patella

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 BQ0VZZZ

UNSPSC 85877052 Plain radiography of right patella is a Commodity code. The recent state and local activity tagged under this code shows a severe mismatch between the nominal scope—a specific radiographic procedure on a single anatomical site—and what state and local governments are actually buying: enterprise-grade imaging system infrastructure, temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing, and comprehensive picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) rather than plain radiography services themselves. The issuing bodies represent a mix of county health systems and independent school districts, with health care delivery organizations dominating the actual procurement activity. San Mateo Medical Center (a county public hospital system) is procuring an enterprise PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. In contrast, Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services solicitation (which includes vision evaluation among 23 line items) appears tangentially related at best and suggests the code may be applied inconsistently across issuing bodies.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County health systems) with one Texas school district represented. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, posted October 7, 2026 with proposals due October 21, 2026, calls for enterprise PACS implementation and data migration from a legacy system, with vendor qualifications requiring demonstrated EPIC integration and public-sector health system experience. The Santa Clara County Health System RFQ, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026, establishes a five-year qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in diagnostic imaging and radiology without guaranteed work volume. Both California health systems apply local preference and living wage compliance requirements. The code shows limited decision-relevant recent activity for firms pursuing plain radiography imaging services at state and local level; the actual procurement driver is health system infrastructure modernization and temporary clinical staffing rather than imaging procedures or studies.
