UNSPSC 85877507: Plain radiography of bilateral ureters using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of bilateral ureters 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 BT081ZZ

UNSPSC 85877507 Plain radiography of bilateral ureters using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity shows a marked mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited. The code name specifies a narrow diagnostic imaging procedure — radiography of bilateral ureters with contrast medium — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve enterprise-grade Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) implementations, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS, posted July 9, 2026 with an August 7, 2026 response deadline, encompasses radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging system implementation with data migration from legacy systems, 3D visualization, and five-year managed service agreements. Collier County, Florida's single-source Notice of Intent covers ultrasound equipment and accessories rather than urography. The Albuquerque Police Department's RFB for phlebotomy technician services addresses blood draw operations unrelated to radiography. These three opportunities demonstrate that the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, or that the code's classification within the UNSPSC taxonomy does not align with how state and local health systems and law enforcement agencies tag their procurement activities.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, part of San Mateo County), county government procurement (Collier County), and municipal law enforcement (Albuquerque Police Department). Geographic activity spans California, Florida, and New Mexico. Because the recent opportunities are fundamentally misaligned with the code's stated scope, readers pursuing this code face the risk that it serves as a catch-all tag for miscellaneous health services and imaging equipment rather than a reliable indicator of radiography-specific demand. Business development professionals should verify with issuing bodies whether they are using this code intentionally for bilateral ureter radiography procedures or whether the postings reflect cataloging errors or overly broad code assignment in jurisdictional procurement systems.
