UNSPSC 85871217: Ultrasonography of left heart, transesophageal

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of left heart, transesophagealultrasonography of left heart, transesophageal. 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 B245ZZ4

UNSPSC 85871217 Ultrasonography of left heart, transesophageal is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit transesophageal echocardiography services or related ultrasound imaging; instead, they cover diagnostic imaging system procurement (San Mateo Medical Center's PACS implementation), special education contracted services (Birdville Independent School District), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (Santa Clara County Health System). The mismatch between the code's specific clinical focus and the actual scope of these solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code is used as a catch-all for health system imaging and clinical service procurement at the state and local level. The issuing bodies include county health systems and school districts rather than providers of ultrasound services themselves.

The geographic spread covers California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County). The San Mateo Medical Center RFP, due October 21, 2026, seeks an enterprise-grade PACS system with EPIC integration, 3D imaging, and multi-planar reconstruction supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies and 5,000 cardiology studies annually, with a five-year agreement term and 9–12 month implementation timeline; evaluation weights 30 points to project approach, 25 points to firm qualifications, 20 points to team qualifications, and 25 points to price. The Santa Clara County Health System RFQ, due October 7, 2026, establishes a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and cardiology, with no guaranteed work and up to five years on the Qualified List. Neither opportunity aligns clearly with the code's nominal scope of transesophageal ultrasound imaging.
