UNSPSC 85871811: Ultrasonography of right common carotid artery

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of right common 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 B343ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871811 Ultrasonography of right common carotid artery is a Commodity code for a narrowly defined diagnostic imaging service, but the recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity actually aligned with this specific ultrasound procedure. The three recent opportunities involve broader health system procurements: San Mateo Medical Center is requesting proposals for an enterprise diagnostic imaging PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) supporting radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging; Birdville Independent School District is soliciting special education contracted services including speech-language pathology and related clinical professions; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging and radiology, audiology, and therapy services. None of these opportunities specifically target carotid artery ultrasound as a discrete service line. The issuing bodies span a county health system, a county hospital and clinic system, a school district, and a regional health authority — a mix typical of health and education procurement.

Activity under this code shows geographic concentration in California, with recent solicitations from San Mateo County (posted October 7, 2026), Santa Clara County (posted July 7, 2026), and Texas (Birdville Independent School District, posted September 18, 2026). The PACS solicitation at San Mateo Medical Center (due October 21, 2026) and the Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) are the most directly relevant to diagnostic imaging procurement, though neither is specifically scoped to carotid ultrasound. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests this Commodity code sees limited discrete procurement activity for this particular ultrasound application in state and local markets.
