UNSPSC 85877529: Plain radiography of left kidney

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of left kidney. 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 BT02ZZZ

UNSPSC 85877529 Plain radiography of left kidney is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure diagnostic imaging services and related technology infrastructure. The recent opportunities posted under this code reveal a mismatch: state and local issuers are using the code to tag enterprise-scale imaging systems, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy support services rather than individual radiographic procedures. San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) seeks an enterprise platform to replace its legacy ScImage system and support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging across approximately 78,000 annual studies; Collier County, Florida has issued a notice of intent to single-source EchoNous ultrasound equipment and software licensing; and Albuquerque Police Department has posted an RFB for on-call phlebotomy technician services. These opportunities reflect procurement of imaging infrastructure, equipment, and ancillary clinical support rather than the plain radiography procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal police departments across California, Florida, and New Mexico.

The code shows limited recent activity directly aligned with its stated scope. The one substantive imaging-system opportunity—San Mateo Medical Center's PACS RFP with proposals due August 7, 2026—represents enterprise health IT procurement by a public hospital system in California, with evaluation criteria weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points), and a local preference of 5–10% available under San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.89. Vendors must demonstrate successful PACS implementations integrated with EPIC within the past five years and provide three to five client references. The procurement requires HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance, living wage adherence at $17.00 per hour minimum with annual CPI-U adjustments capped at 3.5%, and Section 504 compliance assurance. Activity in this code appears sparse and geographically scattered; the title and recent opportunities suggest that state and local procurement offices may be misapplying the radiography code to broader diagnostic imaging infrastructure and clinical support services rather than discrete imaging studies.
