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 BQ01YZZ

UNSPSC 85877083 Plain radiography of left hip using other contrast is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent solicitations in the dataset involve diagnostic imaging systems infrastructure (a PACS platform supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography), portable ultrasound equipment with software licensing, and phlebotomy services for law enforcement—none of which represent plain radiography procedures or hip imaging specifically. State and local governments do purchase diagnostic imaging services and equipment under related codes, but this particular Commodity code does not appear to capture active procurement for the clinical radiography procedures its name suggests.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity block span a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), a county government procurement division (Collier County, Florida), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque Police Department, New Mexico). The geographic distribution across California, Florida, and New Mexico reflects sporadic regional activity rather than concentrated demand. Representative recent opportunities include the San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS due August 7, 2026, requesting enterprise-grade system implementation with EPIC integration to support approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies, and Collier County's Notice of Intent to single-source KOSMOS ultrasound equipment from EchoNous, Inc., with a contract term running March 26, 2026, through March 25, 2028. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and the actual work being tagged suggests this code may be misapplied in the procurement data or carries minimal relevance for vendors focused on plain radiography services or hip imaging work.
