UNSPSC 85877087: Plain radiography of right hip, densitometry

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of right hip, densitometryplain radiography of right hip, densitometry. 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 BQ00ZZ1

UNSPSC 85877087 Plain radiography of right hip, densitometry is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show limited direct relevance to its nominal scope. The single opportunity substantively related to diagnostic imaging is San Mateo Medical Center's October 2026 RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging—a system selection and implementation effort rather than plain radiography services per se. The other two recent postings—Birdville Independent School District's special education contracted services and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool—are unrelated to the code's imaging focus and appear to be classification mismatches. State and local procurement activity under this code segment reflects episodic infrastructure and staffing solicitations in California and Texas rather than a sustained line of business in plain radiography services.

The San Mateo Medical Center PACS opportunity posted October 7, 2026 with a response deadline of October 21, 2026, represents the most concrete recent activity. SMMC operates approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually and requires migration from a legacy ScImage system in place since 2009, with selection criteria heavily weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm and team qualifications (45 points combined), and price (25 points). The County offers a 5–10% local preference under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89, requires EPIC EHR integration, and mandates compliance with HIPAA, Living Wage Ordinance minimum $17.00 per hour, and intellectual property ownership by the County. Beyond this single imaging-related solicitation, the code shows no robust or recurring state and local procurement pattern; the mismatch between the code definition and the recent opportunity mix suggests either inconsistent classification practice or minimal actual procurement volume in plain radiography densitometry services at the state and local level.
