UNSPSC 85877503: Plain radiography of bladder and urethra using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bladder and urethra 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 BT0B1ZZ

UNSPSC 85877503 Plain radiography of bladder and urethra using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code showing minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound equipment, and phlebotomy services — none of which match the specific clinical procedure named in the code. San Mateo County's Diagnostic Imaging PACS solicitation (RFP, due August 7, 2026) targets enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication systems supporting radiology, cardiology, and mammography across an acute-care hospital and outpatient clinic network; Collier County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment (March 26, 2026); and the Albuquerque Police Department sought on-call phlebotomy technicians for blood draw services (RFB, due February 25, 2026). These opportunities reflect broader diagnostic and specimen-collection infrastructure rather than the plain radiography procedure the code describes. The code shows no clear concentration among issuing-body types — the three posted opportunities come from a county medical center, a county procurement division, and a municipal police department in three separate states.

The recent activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico with no discernible geographic clustering. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific urological radiography procedure using contrast media) and the actual work being solicited (imaging system architecture, portable ultrasound platforms, and phlebotomy logistics) suggests this code either captures a narrow clinical service line that state and local health systems rarely procure as standalone solicitations, or that the opportunities have been miscoded. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for procurement planning purposes unless local health authority RFPs explicitly reference bladder or urethral imaging procedures with low-osmolar contrast specifications.
