UNSPSC 85877169: Fluoroscopy of cervical spine using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of cervical 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 BR101ZZ

UNSPSC 85877169 Fluoroscopy of cervical spine using low osmolar contrast, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope—a specific diagnostic imaging procedure—and the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities that cite this code are actually procuring diagnostic imaging infrastructure, equipment, and ancillary clinical services rather than fluoroscopy procedures themselves. San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) that supports radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Collier County, Florida, issued a Notice of Intent to single-source ultrasound equipment and accessories from EchoNous, Inc.; and Albuquerque Police Department posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal police departments, reflecting fragmented buyer demand across public health and law enforcement sectors rather than concentrated procurement activity within a single institutional type.

Geographic activity is scattered across California (San Mateo County), Florida (Collier County), and New Mexico (Albuquerque), with no dominant regional concentration evident from the recent opportunities. The most substantial solicitation is San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation (RFP 660002526251, due August 7, 2026), which calls for enterprise-grade imaging system replacement, data migration from the incumbent ScImage platform, 99.9% uptime, and EPIC integration, with evaluation weighted 30 points on project approach, 25 points on firm qualifications, 20 points on team qualifications, and 25 points on price, and includes a local preference of 5–10% for San Mateo County businesses under County Ordinance Chapter 2.89. The code appears to be misapplied to opportunities that are tangential to or outside its specified diagnostic procedure scope, suggesting that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catch-all for imaging-related buys rather than restricting it to the specific fluoroscopic cervical spine procedure the code nominally describes.
