UNSPSC 85871834: Fluoroscopy of bilateral external carotid arteries using high osmolar contrast

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to fluoroscopy of bilateral external carotid arteries using high 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 B31C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85871834 Fluoroscopy of bilateral external carotid arteries using high osmolar contrast is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code — a diagnostic imaging Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) at San Mateo Medical Center, special education contracted services at Birdville Independent School District, and a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle at Santa Clara Health System — involve healthcare infrastructure systems, school-based education services, and ancillary clinical staffing respectively, none of which represent fluoroscopy services or related diagnostic imaging procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a data-tagging error or obsolescence in the code's use by these issuing bodies.

Recent opportunities show no direct procurement of fluoroscopy services or related diagnostic imaging studies. The Santa Clara Health System solicitation includes "Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology Services" within a staffing qualification pool, and San Mateo Medical Center's PACS procurement supports radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging workflows, but neither opportunity targets fluoroscopy as a billable service, equipment purchase, or procedure line item. No response dates, dollar values, or geographic concentration in fluoroscopy procurement emerge from the available opportunities. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices continue to use it for actual fluoroscopy services or whether the code has been deprecated in favor of broader diagnostic imaging or clinical staffing categories.
