UNSPSC 85871311: Fluoroscopy of right and left heart using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of right and left heart 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 B2161ZZ

UNSPSC 85871311 Fluoroscopy of right and left heart using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific diagnostic imaging procedure — cardiac fluoroscopy with low-osmolar contrast media — but recent opportunities tagged under this code show no direct purchases of that service or supply. Instead, three posted solicitations use the code while procuring unrelated services: San Mateo Medical Center is requesting proposals for enterprise PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) software and implementation; Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services across 23 line items including speech language therapy and occupational therapy; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual recent procurement suggests this Commodity code does not reflect how state and local buyers are currently tagging cardiac fluoroscopy work or related diagnostic imaging services. Geographic activity spans California (San Mateo County, Santa Clara County) and Texas (Birdville ISD in Tarrant County), but the opportunities reflect health system IT implementation, school district support services, and staffing placement rather than procedural or supply procurement under the code's nominal definition. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS RFP, due October 21, 2026, is the only posting among the three that touches diagnostic imaging infrastructure, though its primary scope is system software and data migration rather than fluoroscopy services or consumables. Procurement professionals should verify whether cardiac fluoroscopy services are in fact being classified under alternative UNSPSC codes or whether state and local health systems are simply tagging these contracts with inaccurate taxonomy.
