UNSPSC 85877183: Plain radiography of cervical spine, densitometry

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of cervical spine, densitometryplain radiography of cervical spine, 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 BR00ZZ1

UNSPSC 85877183 Plain radiography of cervical spine, densitometry is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations appears misaligned with the work actually being procured. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code span diagnostic imaging infrastructure (PACS systems), ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which target plain radiography or cervical spine imaging specifically. San Mateo Medical Center is soliciting an enterprise PACS system to manage radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across 65,000 annual studies with EPIC integration; Collier County, Florida, is procuring a single-source ultrasound platform (KOSMOS with TORSO-ONE probe); and the Albuquerque Police Department is contracting for on-call phlebotomy technicians for blood draw services. The issuing bodies span county public health systems, county procurement divisions, and municipal law enforcement, suggesting broad health-sector demand across the full jurisdiction types.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast in the recent record. San Mateo County (California) posted an RFP for PACS due August 7, 2026, with a 5–10% local-preference set-aside under County ordinance; Collier County (Florida) issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source on April 1, 2026, with a March 26, 2026, deadline; and Albuquerque (New Mexico) posted an RFB for blood draw services due February 25, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope of cervical spine radiography and densitometry — the opportunities suggest this commodity code may be incorrectly tagged in the state and local procurement system for work that belongs under diagnostic imaging platforms, medical equipment, or laboratory services codes instead.
