UNSPSC 85877084: Plain radiography of left hip using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left hip using low osmolar 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 BQ011ZZ

UNSPSC 85877084 Plain radiography of left hip using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code — a diagnostic imaging PACS system implementation, ultrasound equipment procurement, and blood draw services — involve imaging infrastructure, equipment, and phlebotomy services rather than the specific radiographic procedure the code nominally describes. The source indicates a substantial mismatch between the code's technical scope and what issuing bodies are actually soliciting under it.

The recent activity spans three different states and issuing bodies: San Mateo Medical Center (California) posted an RFP for enterprise-grade diagnostic imaging PACS software with response due August 7, 2026; Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single source EchoNous ultrasound equipment; and the Albuquerque Police Department (New Mexico) issued an RFB for on-call blood draw services with response due February 25, 2026. None of these solicitations represent the kind of clinical radiography service the code nominally describes, suggesting this code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or has become a catch-all for imaging and diagnostic-related procurement broadly. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify that specific solicitations align with their service offerings before investing in proposal development, as the code's nominal scope does not reliably predict the work being bought.
