UNSPSC 85877149: Fluoroscopy of whole spine using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of whole spine 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 BR1G1ZZ

UNSPSC 85877149 Fluoroscopy of whole spine using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that captures diagnostic imaging services and equipment procurement by state and local health systems and public hospitals. The recent solicitations indexed under this code reflect a mismatch between the nominal code definition and what is actually being bought: the opportunities posted show diagnostic imaging infrastructure (Picture Archiving and Communication System implementation), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services rather than fluoroscopy procedures using specific contrast agents. State and local health systems, county public hospitals, and law enforcement agencies (police departments) serve as the primary issuing bodies. The scope of work varies widely across the posted opportunities—ranging from enterprise-grade PACS system selection and migration to specialized portable ultrasound platforms with accessories to on-call clinical phlebotomy services—suggesting that this code is being applied broadly across diagnostic imaging workflows rather than to a single, narrowly defined service line.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the West and South: recent solicitations include San Mateo County, California (RFP for PACS implementation with proposals due August 7, 2026), Collier County, Florida (single-source notice for ultrasound equipment posted April 1, 2026, with the intent period ending March 26, 2026), and Albuquerque, New Mexico (RFB for phlebotomy services with bids due February 25, 2026). The San Mateo Medical Center PACS solicitation represents the most substantial and detailed recent opportunity, specifying a 9–12 month implementation timeline, five-year agreement term, EPIC Electronic Health Record integration requirement, and evaluation weighting of 30 points for project approach, 25 for firm qualifications, 20 for team qualifications, and 25 for price. The code shows limited relevant recent activity overall, and the three opportunities posted reflect divergent service categories, indicating either inconsistent code assignment across jurisdictions or a code tier that does not align tightly with current procurement practice in this functional area.
