UNSPSC 85877504: Plain radiography of bladder and urethra using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bladder and urethra using high 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 BT0B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85877504 Plain radiography of bladder and urethra using high osmolar contrast (Commodity) encompasses diagnostic medical imaging equipment, systems, and services that state and local health care providers procure to capture, store, and manage radiological and imaging data. The recent opportunities posted under this code show a marked disconnect between the nominal code scope—a specific radiological procedure—and the actual work being solicited, which spans enterprise imaging infrastructure, ultrasound equipment, and clinical laboratory services. San Mateo County's Diagnostic Imaging PACS solicitation (RFP posted July 9, 2026, due August 7, 2026) represents the closest fit to the code's imaging focus, requesting an enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC EHR integration. However, the Collier County Procurement Services Division's single-source notice for EchoNous ultrasound equipment (posted April 1, 2026) and the Albuquerque Police Department's request for on-call phlebotomy blood draw services (RFB posted January 26, 2026, due February 25, 2026) fall outside imaging diagnostics altogether, suggesting the code may have been assigned inconsistently across these opportunities. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily public health systems and municipal departments, including county-operated medical centers and city police departments with laboratory needs.

Recent activity is concentrated in California (San Mateo County) and Florida (Collier County), with additional municipal procurement in New Mexico (Albuquerque). The San Mateo PACS project requires vendors to demonstrate EPIC integration experience, handle approximately 65,000 radiology studies annually, and meet 99.9% uptime with 2–5 second image load times over a 9–12 month implementation and five-year term. Evaluation emphasizes project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), with a local preference of 5–10% available under county ordinance. The code shows limited consistent recent activity in state and local procurement; the three posted opportunities represent different service categories, indicating either inconsistent code assignment or that the nominal commodity description does not reflect current procurement patterns in this space.
