UNSPSC 85877163: Fluoroscopy of thoracic spine

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of thoracic spine. 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 BR17ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877163 Fluoroscopy of thoracic spine is a Commodity code that nominally describes imaging procedures, but the recent state and local solicitations posted against it diverge significantly from the code's scope. The three opportunities on record—a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) from San Mateo Medical Center, an ultrasound equipment and software license from Collier County, Florida, and on-call phlebotomy services from the Albuquerque Police Department—span health system infrastructure, medical device procurement, and laboratory support services rather than spine imaging procedures. The issuing bodies include a public hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center, operated by San Mateo County), a county government (Collier County), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque). The scope mismatch between the code's nominal fluoroscopy focus and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is either being applied inconsistently by these jurisdictions or carries broader health-services application than its name indicates in practice.

The three opportunities are distributed across California, Florida, and New Mexico. San Mateo County posted an RFP on July 9, 2026, with responses due August 7, 2026, for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; the system must migrate approximately 65,000 annual radiology studies and 8,000 mammography interpretations from a legacy ScImage system and achieve 99.9% uptime with EPIC integration. Collier County posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source on April 1, 2026 (submission deadline March 26, 2026) for ultrasound equipment, software licensing, and carrying cases from EchoNous, Inc. The Albuquerque Police Department issued an RFB on January 26, 2026, with bids due February 25, 2026, for twenty-four-hour on-call phlebotomy technician services across Bernalillo County. None of these opportunities aligns cleanly with thoracic spine imaging; the code shows little relevant recent state and local activity for the procedure it nominally describes.
