UNSPSC 85871368: Plain radiography of multiple coronary arteries using low osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of multiple coronary arteries 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 B2011ZZ

UNSPSC 85871368 Plain radiography of multiple coronary arteries using low osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover diagnostic imaging system infrastructure (picture archiving and communication systems), special education contracted services (speech therapists, occupational therapists, diagnosticians), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories—none of which involve plain radiography procedures or imaging contrast agents. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in state and local procurement systems, likely because health systems and school districts are using broad or outdated taxonomy mappings when tagging opportunities that touch clinical services more generally.

The three most recent opportunities show activity across California and Texas health systems and school districts—San Mateo County Medical Center (SMMC) seeking PACS implementation with proposals due October 21, 2026; Birdville Independent School District in northeast Tarrant County, Texas, soliciting special education contracted services due October 21, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System maintaining a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing across ancillary clinical categories with the October 7, 2026 deadline already passed. None of these solicitations explicitly reference radiography, contrast imaging procedures, or the procedural service line the commodity code nominally describes. Pursuit under this code is not recommended without first clarifying the actual scope of work with the issuing health system or agency, as the taxonomy appears to be incorrectly assigned.
