UNSPSC 85871803: Ultrasonography of left internal carotid artery

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of left internal carotid artery. 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 B347ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871803 Ultrasonography of left internal carotid artery is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass diagnostic imaging systems procurement, special education contracted services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent point-of-service ultrasound examinations of a specific anatomical structure. The code appears to be a clinical procedure-level classification that state and local health systems and school districts are not using to structure discrete service procurements. Issuing bodies in the recent activity include San Mateo County's public hospital system, a Texas school district, and Santa Clara County's health system, but their procurement activity centers on enterprise PACS infrastructure, educational support personnel, and broad-category clinical staffing pools rather than billable diagnostic procedures.

The geographic spread of recent activity is limited to California (San Mateo and Santa Clara counties) and Texas (Tarrant County), with no pattern suggesting sustained demand under this code. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026) sought a diagnostic imaging PACS system to support existing radiology, cardiology, and mammography operations — a systems-integration procurement, not carotid ultrasound services. Santa Clara Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing included Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology as one eligible category within a broader pool, but the solicitation does not restrict to or emphasize carotid ultrasound specifically. State and local buyers appear to classify diagnostic imaging procurement at the department, system, or staffing-category level rather than by individual procedure code, making this Commodity code largely inactive for procurement planning purposes.
