UNSPSC 85871648: Fluoroscopy of thoracic aorta

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of thoracic aorta. 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 B310ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871648 Fluoroscopy of thoracic aorta is a Commodity code that describes diagnostic imaging procedures, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect direct procurement of fluoroscopy services or imaging procedures themselves. Instead, the opportunities center on health system infrastructure and staffing: San Mateo Medical Center solicited an RFP for a Diagnostic Imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration (due October 21, 2026); Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology services (due October 7, 2026); and Birdville Independent School District in Texas solicited special education contracted services unrelated to medical imaging (due October 21, 2026). The issuing bodies span county health systems and a school district, reflecting activity in health care delivery organizations rather than traditional medical practice groups or independent imaging centers. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific fluoroscopy procedure) and the actual procurement activity suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged in the available opportunities, or that state and local procurement databases do not routinely surface direct clinical service contracts under procedure-specific UNSPSC codes.

Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo County and Santa Clara County) and Texas (Tarrant County), with the most recent opportunities posted between July and October 2026. The San Mateo Medical Center PACS implementation represents the closest alignment to diagnostic imaging infrastructure, requiring vendor demonstration of EPIC integration, public-sector experience, and successful radiology implementations; the project budget and timeline were not disclosed in the opportunity summary. Santa Clara Health System's open vendor pool for diagnostic imaging and radiology staffing is non-exclusive and non-guaranteed, with qualifications negotiated case-by-case. Neither opportunity directly procures fluoroscopy procedures or imaging examinations. The code shows limited substantive recent activity aligned with its procedural definition.
