UNSPSC 85871212: Ultrasonography of right and left heart

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of right and left heart. 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 B246ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871212 Ultrasonography of right and left heart (Commodity) shows limited direct activity under the code's nominal scope, as recent state and local opportunities tagged to this classification diverge from cardiac ultrasound services. The San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) diagnostic imaging PACS solicitation (Solicitation 660002526251, RFP, due Oct 21, 2026) encompasses enterprise-grade picture archiving and communication system implementation supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration—a technology infrastructure procurement rather than clinical ultrasound delivery. The Birdville Independent School District special education contracted services RFQ (Solicitation 01027, due Oct 21, 2026) and the Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due Oct 7, 2026) are unrelated to the code's stated clinical service. Issuing bodies in the recent record span a county-operated health system (SMMC), an independent school district (BISD), and a regional health authority (Santa Clara), but none solicits cardiac ultrasound directly.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), though the recent opportunities offer no reliable signal of sustained demand under this specific code. The SMMC PACS implementation does reference approximately 5,000 cardiology studies performed annually and requires advanced visualization capabilities including 3D imaging, suggesting ongoing clinical cardiology work, but the procurement itself is for system infrastructure, not ultrasound technician services or standalone diagnostic imaging procedures. State and local buyers appear to classify cardiac imaging within broader health system IT and clinical staffing vehicles rather than as discrete ultrasound service line purchases. Prospective vendors should monitor broader diagnostic imaging and health professional staffing categories if seeking state and local cardiac imaging-adjacent work; this code shows no recent matched opportunities.
