UNSPSC 85877522: Plain radiography of kidneys, ureters and bladder using other contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of kidneys, ureters and bladder using other contrastplain radiography of kidneys, ureters and bladder using other 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 BT04YZZ

UNSPSC 85877522, Plain radiography of kidneys, ureters and bladder using other contrast, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code involve diagnostic imaging systems architecture (a PACS platform implementation), special education contracted services (speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and diagnosticians), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles. None of these solicitations addresses kidney, ureter, or bladder radiography directly; the PACS procurement touches imaging broadly but focuses on system infrastructure and data migration rather than a specific radiographic procedure. The code appears to be either misapplied by issuing bodies or represents legacy taxonomy classification that does not reflect current procurement practice in these jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies include a county hospital system (San Mateo Medical Center in California), an independent school district (Birdville ISD in Texas), and a county health system (Santa Clara County in California). San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for enterprise PACS implementation with a due date of October 21, 2026, requiring EPIC integration and support for 65,000 annual radiology studies across multiple imaging modalities. Santa Clara County Health System posted a qualification solicitation (due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing in ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume. Activity is concentrated in California, with one Texas outlier. The code shows little recent relevant activity for firms focused on radiographic contracting or imaging services—the mismatch between the nominal commodity scope and actual solicitation content suggests reviewing the code's application in your target markets before allocating pursuit resources.
