UNSPSC 85871812: Ultrasonography of right common carotid artery, intravascular

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to ultrasonography of right common carotid artery, intravascularultrasonography of right common carotid artery, intravascular. 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 B343ZZ3

UNSPSC 85871812 Ultrasonography of right common carotid artery, intravascular is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific diagnostic imaging procedure, yet recent state and local contract activity under this code does not align with that scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve a hospital PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) implementation, special education contracted services including speech-language therapy and occupational therapy, and a temporary health professional staffing pool spanning diagnostic imaging, audiology, cardiology, therapy services, and other ancillary clinical roles. Only the PACS and health professional staffing opportunities contain imaging-related components; the special education services solicitation is unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies are a county-operated public hospital system, an independent school district, and a county health system—spanning health care delivery and education sectors with no clear concentration in a single jurisdiction type.

The geographic spread reflects West Coast and Texas activity: San Mateo County, California; Santa Clara County, California; and Tarrant County, Texas. The most recent opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS (posted October 7, 2026, due October 21, 2026), which requires proposals for enterprise-grade PACS implementation supporting approximately 65,000 radiology studies, 5,000 cardiology studies, and 8,000 mammography interpretations annually, with EPIC integration, 99.9% uptime, data migration from legacy ScImage PACS, and nine-to-twelve-month implementation within a five-year agreement. The Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool including diagnostic imaging and radiology services among thirteen ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch between the code's specific procedural name and the broad, divergent scope of recent opportunities signals either systematic misclassification or that this code is not the active vehicle for state and local procurement in this domain.
